Busting common myths about prostate cancer

The truth is that the most common cancer in men starts in a place that half know next to nothing about. It is time to change that.

We know men’s health can be a minefield, and that a lack of information, or commonly held beliefs in myths and misinformation, can stop men making the best choices about their health - especially when it comes to prostate cancer.
