Football legend launches cancer trials

A CLINICAL trial is set to be launched at a city hospital for men who have suffered prostate cancer.

Researchers are asking for people who have had their prostate removed to come forward and help improve treatment for future sufferers.

The scheme, run by Cancer Research UK, is being backed by legendary former footballer Denis Law, who himself has had his prostate removed after suffering from the disease.

It will be run at the Western General and volunteers are being asked to contact their GP.

The ex-Manchester Utd and Scotland forward said: "For women who have surgery for breast cancer the next step is usually radiotherapy.

"But for men, what to do after surgery is a grey area. To find these answers we look to clinical trials."
