Prostate patients 'get second-rate NHS care'

[Northerner]

Prostate cancer patients are receiving ‘second rate’ care on the NHS compared to women with breast cancer, a report warns.

Campaigners accuse the health service of discriminating against men with prostate cancer, who tend to be more elderly than women with breast cancer.
