Researchers are warning that men who regularly avoid prostate cancer control are 45% more likely to die from the disease.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second cause of cancer deaths, according to UC San Francisco (UCSF).
But if the review programs are introduced to a national scale-especially those that measure the specific prostate (PSA) levels in the blood-can give men early access to treatment, experts say.
So they would have a better chance to recover, according to reporting from the Snow -news agency and others.
Review can also prevent costly treatments associated with advanced prostate cancer.
This is according to data from the random European study of prostate cancer (ERSPC) examination.
The study collects information from seven European nations – Finland, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain. It is said to be the largest study in the world for prostate cancer examination, SWWNS said.
Long -term data from this entity constantly show that PSA review programs can lead to a reduced 20% risk of death from prostate cancer.
‘Strict contrast’
Now, a 20-year-old accompanying data analysis by ERSPC is the first to look at the link between the constant decline in the invitations of review and the risk of men to die from this type of cancer.
It reveals a “harsh contrast” that emphasizes the potential consequences of avoiding review.
Researchers from the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center in the Netherlands led the analysis, SUNS said.
Of the 72,460 men invited to attend the show, about one in six were non-striker and bypassed each single meeting.
This group had a 45% higher risk of death from prostate cancer compared to those who participated in the appointments under the findings.
When comparing the results with the control group-the men who were never invited to have the shows that participated in the appointments under consideration had a 23% lower risk of dying from prostate cancer, while non-sullemen faced a 39% higher risk, SWN reported.
The author of the main study Renée Leenen, MD, Ph.D., said the choice of not attending the review could be driven by a complex collection of factors.
Said Leenen, who is with the Erasmus CM Cancer Institute in the Netherlands, “it may be that men who decided not to attend a meeting under consideration are avoidance of care – means that they are less likely to engage in healthy and preventive behavior in general.”
She added, “This is the opposite behavior of people who are perhaps more aware of health and are more likely to attend a meeting in consideration … Our study identifies that men who were invited for consideration but do not participate in the appointments under consideration are at a significantly higher risk die from prostate cancer compared to men who were not exiled.”
Dr Leenen said experts “need to better understand who these men are, why they choose not to participate in appointments and how to motivate them.”
In doing so, she added, “will help us develop prostate cancer control programs based on populations that encourage higher levels of informed participation … Treating attendance levels in this way can be a major factor in the long -term success of a national prostate review program.
Urologist Tobias Nordström, MD, Ph.D., of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, said, “We need to better understand why these men can actively choose not to attend, despite being invited to participate, and how this behavior is associated with worse results when they receive a diagnosis.”
The findings from the study are planned to appear this weekend at the European Urology Association Congress (EAU) in Madrid, Spain, SUNS said.
Senior medical analyst of FOX News, Dr. Marc Siegel, who was not involved in the new study of prostate cancer risks, previously called for the need for regular medical manifestations.
Siegel has highlighted the need to “diagnose it early for better results”.
