A MAJOR campaign against *prostate cancer is launched today as a charity claims many Scots GPs are failing to talk to men in high-risk groups about the disease.

Prostate Cancer UK's research has found only 4% of Scottish GPs always initiate discussions with men over the age of 50 who have no symptoms.

The charity has signed up former Scotland and Manchester United legend Denis Law, 73, who recovered from the disease a decade ago, to a football-themed "Men United" team which aims to appeal to sports fans everywhere.
