Study: Low -grade prostate cancer does not mean that it is less dangerous

A recent study found that low -grade prostate cancer is not necessarily less dangerous. Researchers at the Jamaa Oncology Patrol have warned that the results of the biopsy showing that prostate cancer is low, sometimes the risk of the disease, neglect surgery or radiotherapy can underestimate patients who can be useful to them. The study included approximately 117,000 men, the results of their prostate biopsy, which is an indication of the presence of a first class crop, which is the slower growth. The study said that when other factors, such as the levels of the prostate antigen in the blood, and the sizes of the tumor are taken into account, it appears that 1 out of 6 of these men have medium or very dangerous cancer. The researchers pointed out that such high -risk cancers often require radioactive treatment or prostatectomy. “We do not want to lose sight of the serious cancers that occur in biopsy at the beginning as the first extent … This reduction in the risk estimate can lead to receiving not adequate treatment, and to achieve bad results,” Dr. Bashir Al -Hussein, of Weill Cornell Medicine College, one of the authors of the study said in a statement. Current guidelines, which are recommended, are recommended to monitor instead of treatment for men with a low -grade prostate tumors, to study studies that examined the entire prostate glands after patients have eradicated. “The wrong belief,” the researchers said that the examination of biopsies included only small parts of the prostate, so that more sophisticated or dangerous cancer cells could be missed, giving an incomplete image. Some cancer experts have recently indicated that crops for first classes are so slow that they should not be considered malignant. The researchers said that the results of the new study could help enrich these discussions. “There is a wrong belief that the crop is low, and low risk is the same … Here we clearly show that it is not,” Dr. Jonathan Shal, from University of Case Western Reserve University, said in a statement. Prostate cancer is one of the most aggravated cancer. This type of cancer is found in the prostate gland, which is a small gland in the form of a nut of men, and produces and transplant semen that feeds sperm and transports it. Prostate cancer treatment options depend on various factors, such as the rate of cancer growth speed, its distribution, the overall health of the person concerned, as well as potential benefits or side effects of treatment. And the prostate cancer, which is discovered early, at the stage in which it is still limited to the prostate gland, the chances of the success of his treatment are best, according to “Mayo Clinic”.
