new YORK (Reuters Health) – men who are treated

for prostate cancer they would suffer many side effects even

a decade after treatment, reveals a new study.

a team of researchers found that more than 500 men with

cancer, including those who are detected with regular, pesquisas

had worse sexual function and more problems to control the

bladder 10 years after therapy than a group of men without

disease.

this would seem something just before the screening and treatment

of a cancer. but the issue is complicated: cancer of

prostate is slow growth and perhaps never would threaten the

life of the patient.

in addition, many studies could not prove that the

analysis of PSA in blood is saving lives. why, the

Special Commission of United States preventive services

(USPSTF(, by its English name) does not recommend screening of the

cancer prostate.

with the benefits of control of routine in doubt, the

treatment of adverse effects becomes more important.

“reality is that, now, the decision to have the

research and initiate a treatment is individual”, said

Kathryn L. Taylor, the Integral Center of the Lombardi Cancer of the

Georgetown University, in Washington.

“And this study does not answer those questions individually,”

said the lead author of the study, published in the Journal of

Clinical Oncology.

but argued that the findings provide them to the

men more information about side effects of the

surgery, radiation or hormone therapy.

of patients had some degree of sexual dysfunction and the

half had developed symptoms urinals.

these results suggest that the cause would not be only the

team could compare to 269 men who had them

detected the disease with the research and had started a

treatment, with 260 men without the disease. when considering the

age, State of health and other factors, the treated group

had lost function sexual and urinary tract in the 10 years

after diagnosis.

the pattern remained in participants who had not

all dies für Taylor, legt nahe, dass das Problem in befinden würde

Behandlung von Prostatakrebs oder, vielleicht, teilweise in

Krebs. “wichtig ist, dass die Gruppe (mit Krebs der

Prostata) war schlimmer”, bekannter. und das ist für das Team, etwas
