West Midlands Cancer Alliance partnered with Prostate Cancer UK to launch Saving Black Men’s Lives in Prostate Cancer: A Manifesto for Collaborative Change.

One in 4 black men are likely to develop prostate cancer, which is double that of the general population. And the risk is far higher if you have a family history.

At a packed event at Wolverhampton's Molineux Stadium, WMCA patient advocate Simeon Green described how his three brothers had died with the condition, and that he had traced 50 relatives who have had prostate cancer over three generations.

The event was hosted by Junior Hemans who founded support group BROS - Brothers Reaching Out to/for Support.

Junior said: "The earlier we diagnose prostate cancer the more of the man we can save."

Harvir Singh, WMCA's Senior Programme Manager for early diagnosis said: "We want men to be aware of the risk and advocate to be PSA tested when they see their GP."

Harvir, Simeon and Junior were all interviewed by BBC Midlands Today (clip starts at 8 minutes).
