He prostate cancer It is a disease that generally does not present symptoms, only when it is already advanced; this is where preventive checkups play a fundamental role, since if it is detected in time, statistics say that up to 90% of cases recover.
This disease is associated with when prostate cells begin to grow excessively, potentially leaving the prostate and branching out to other organs.
When should I start getting checked?
Risk factors
To answer this question, you need to know what the risk factors are:
- Age: The likelihood of developing prostate cancer increases with age.
- Genetics: When there is a family history, a father or brother who has suffered from prostate cancer has a 4 or 5 times greater risk of suffering from it, so he should start getting checked from the age of 40.
You must begin your checkups If you have no family history of prostate cancer, you should start getting a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and a digital rectal exam at age 45. If you do have a family history, as mentioned previously, you should begin getting checked at age 40 to ensure early detection.
Given that prostate cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent in men over 50, early diagnosis is crucial to detect it when it can be effectively treated.
