Men Should Be Provided With Better Information About Prostate Cancer
March 13th, 2008 Posted in prostate cancer, prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer preventionAccording to a recent report of the Prostate Cancer Charter for Action, prostate cancer sufferers across England report worse care, lower awareness and poorer outcomes than other patients. The report said men should be provided with better information about the disease, including how to recognize the symptoms, in a bid to encourage them to seek a medical opinion at an earlier stage.
An expert urologist and member of Prostate Cancer Charter for Action, said: “More than any other cancer, the story of prostate cancer remains a story of inequalities.” Prostate cancer services must be improved to help tackle the wide variations in care seen across England. “We must continue to work to ensure we achieve the best possible outcomes for all men with this disease.” added the same expert.
