The charity Prostate Cancer UK has called for an urgent overhaul of NHS guidelines following the release of new data revealing that black men in England face higher rates of late-stage diagnoses compared to white men.

Black men are also less likely to receive life-saving NICE-approved treatments according to an analysis by the National Prostate Cancer Audit.
