  • 1 in 10 women say they don't check their breasts compared to 1 in 4 men who don't check their testes
  • 1 in 3 men are not aware they can check themselves for lumps
  • Only 1 in 5 men admit to being clued up on prostate cancer
  • 1 in 6 men think prostate cancer can affect women
  • 1 in 4 Brits have a family member or close friend with testicular or prostate cancer
