Early surgery reduces deaths from prostate cancer:
A new European research indicates that early surgery to remove tumors in the prostate may be reduced to nearly half the risk of death by disease.
The problem may be to remove the tumor in the early stages of disease is still causing controversy. This is because prostate cancer often grows slowly and appears in older men who may die of other causes before cancer metastases.
Furthermore, the tumor may cause serious adverse effects, including impotence and enuresis.
In the latest study conducted on 695 men Sweden, Finland and Norway, the researchers found the risk of dying from prostate cancer fell from 9% to 5% within 6 years after the operation.
However, the overall number of deaths (all causes) in the surgery group and surgery group the same. According to the authors, can escape those who died of prostate cancer or died of other diseases more.
"We have clear evidence that complete resection of the prostate reduces the risk of disease reappeared, and we can change the nature of course of treatment with radical surgery. "
