Outside of skin cancers, prostate cancer is New Zealand's most common form of the disease.
Each year, 4000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer.
A Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand survey of men who have had treatment, shows 93 percent experience erectile dysfunction, with many saying they felt robbed of their confidence and their mental health took a hit.
Today's release of the results coincides with the launch of a prostate cancer information roadshow.
