Call to watch and wait on male cancer
The Daily Mirror, 07/11/2017, p.15, Rosie Taylor
Too many men are diagnosed with prostate cancer when it will not harm them, Oxford University’s Professor Freddie Hamdy said. He argued that in many cases they should not be told they have it. He said that out of 500 diagnoses, 75% avoided treatment for three years and 44% for more than 10. He said patients “driven by anxiety” to tackle the cancer often opted for needless surgery or radiotherapy, leading to urinary and bowel problems and sexual dysfunction.
