Prostate Cancer And Irish Men
Published on Mar 08 2010, in the categories: Community, Related topics, Useful Info
The Marie Keating Foundation encourages men to get talking about their health. This foundation's campaigns are focused on informing men how to reduce the risk of developing cancer. Statistical data state that one of two hundred Irish men have the risk of developing testicular cancer, the risk of developing bowel cancer can occur at one in nineteen Irish men and one in nine men have the risk of developing prostate cancer.
The foundation has developed a website where men can ask medical expert about the various types of men cancer. The survival rate from prostate cancer has increased to almost 80% due to the help given by this Foundation and their campaign over early detection of cancer risk. Men older than 65 have a higher risk of more than 75 % of developing cancer, but also men under the age of 50 are exposed to this risk even though there are smaller chances that this can happen to them.
Another Irish site dedicated towards informing men about the risks and method of treatment of prostate cancer is http://www.cancer.ie/prostate/. This site is maintained by the Irish Cancer Society that has developed a program called Action Prostate Cancer to inform and support men with this health problem. The specialist cancer nurses of this site can provide expert information, advice and support to those affected by prostate cancer.
There are no symptoms in early stages of prostate cancer. Many prostate cancer experts from Ireland try to include in governmental regulation that all men should get a test at the age of 40 because one single PSA test can show if a man is at risk of developing prostate cancer and take early actions for treatment. The presence of prostate cancer can be pointed by raised PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and that's why blood test and investigations are necessary earlier than 40 years.
Risk factors that can cause prostate cancer are the age, the genetic inheritance if in a family one member had prostate cancer there is high risk of developing prostate cancer over time. The diet can be a risk factor too. A diet without enough green vegetables and lot of high fat dairy products and red meat can lead to prostate cancer. National Cancer Registry from Ireland has estimated an increase of 275 per cent increase in the incidence of prostate cancer until 2020 thus will be 3768 new cases every year.
The most common cancer in men is the prostate cancer. This is a slow growing for of cancer and at least 30 percent of patients diagnosed with this form of cancer have a chance of surviving it. Early screening and testing can improve treatment of prostate cancer. One methods used for screening prostate cancer in men are blood test to measure PSA (prostate specific antingen). There are natural nutritional supplements that can support healthy prostate. Prostate health is important to all men not only the one at the age of 40. A healthy prostate can support the normal urinary flow and can help the sexual life of a couple.
