Prostate cancer overtakes breast cancer as big killer
The number of men dying from prostate cancer each year has overtaken the number of women dying from breast cancer for the first time.
That's according to figures from Prostate Cancer UK.
The figures show that in 2015 11,819 men died from prostate cancer, while 11,442 women died from breast cancer.
That makes it the third biggest cancer killer.
An ageing population is being blamed by experts.
