New data out today has revealed cancer rates among men in Australia are the highest of all OECD countries, while testing and screening rates have also dropped.
Data from Cancer Australia found during the first wave, diagnostic procedures for lung cancer - Australia's leading cause of cancer death - decreased nearly 30 per cent.
While testing for prostate cancer - the most common cancer in Australian men - dropped by 40 per cent, with prostate MRIs and biopsies falling by a quarter too.
