The Effect of Androgen Deprivation Therapy on Periodontal Disease in Men With Prostate Cancer
Except:
The prevalence of periodontal disease was 80.5% in men on androgen deprivation therapy compared with 3.7% in those not on androgen deprivation therapy (OR 3.33, 95% CI 1.07–10.35). Men on androgen deprivation therapy had significantly greater probing depth and higher plaque scores (p <0.001 and <0.09, respectively). A total of 81 men (76.9%) completed bone mineral density examinations. There was no relationship between bone mineral density and periodontal disease.
The Truth About PSA Tests and Prostate Cancer Screening
Except:
While the benefits of screening tests for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer are widely accepted, screening for prostate cancer remains controversial to some.
The main screening tool for prostate cancer is the PSA test, which measures levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. Although PSA screening has been shown to reduce deaths from prostate cancer, it also finds cancers that have a low chance of spreading. This is not only very stressful for men but can lead to unnecessary treatments, such as surgery or radiotherapy.
BRINGING HOPE, RELIABLE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO HELP YOU...
Except:
This website was created by a husband and wife team who have both defeated cancer (16 years and 21 years post-cancer diagnosis respectively). It aims to sweep together information on cancer from reliable sources to aid anyone affected by it to get a better understanding of it.
It provides the latest research into means of avoiding or curing cancer. And, most of all, it is intended to give those battling cancer hope and encouragement.
