Acclaimed actor, Robert De Niro, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October 2003. His representative, Stan Rosenfield, stated at the time: “Doctors say the condition was detected at an early stage because of regular checkups.” Thankfully, due to a combination of excellent physical condition, early detection and a course of treatment, De Niro has made a full recovery.
Prostate cancer, along with breast, lung and bowel cancers account for over half (54%) of all new cancer cases. Cancer Research UK also state that a shocking 1 in 3 people are directly affected by cancer, equalling over 5,000 new cases a week.
