There are more than 40,000 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed in the UK each year.
The most common form of cancer in British men, prostate cancer generally develops slowly and symptoms may not present for years, according to express.co.uk.
It is generally diagnosed when sufferers notice changes in their urinary patterns, once the prostate becomes large enough to impact the urethra.
