| Experts are working on better tests for prostate cancer |
Men look set to have a one in two chance of developing cancer in their lifetime, UK experts predict.
The increase to 50 out of 100, up from the current 44 in 100 chance, is largely down to people living longer - age is the biggest cancer risk factor, says Cancer Research UK.
The cancers set to increase the most in men within the next 15 years are bowel, prostate and skin (melanoma).
But more will survive cancer, thanks to better screening and treatments.
Medical advances mean cancer survival has already doubled in the past 40 years.
