More than four out of five men in NI facing a higher than average risk of prostate cancer are not taking the right steps to protect themselves, new research suggests.

Prostate Cancer UK said thousands could miss out on being diagnosed early, when treatment is most effective.

Men at increased risk include those with a family history of the disease, men over 50 and black men.

The charity said more needed to be done to help improve the diagnostic process.
