TESTICULAR
CANCER
At greater than 95%, the odds of
survival for men with testicular
cancer are better than good
– but for some men, long-term
treatment-related side effects,
mean quality of life is severely
compromised.

PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate cancer is the most
commonly diagnosed cancer
(apart from skin cancers) in Kiwi
men. Every year nearly 4000 men
are diagnosed and about 650 die
from the disease – the third
highest cause of death after lung
and bowel cancers. Māori men
have a slightly lower incidence of
prostate cancer but have a higher
death rate than other New
Zealand men. The reasons for this
may be a later diagnosis or
treatment choices offered to them.
