More about the programme
A Welsh cancer charity is leading calls for young boys to be vaccinated in a bid to cut their chances of developing the disease in later life.
Young girls are already vaccinated against the human papillomavirus to prevent cervical cancer.
But H-P-V is also implicated in growing numbers of cancers in men - particularly in the head and neck.
Now Tenovus Cancer Care - and other organisations including the British Medical Association - are calling on the Welsh Government to lead the way in the UK and vaccinate boys against H-P-V.
Presented by Selma Chalabi.
