​ Prognosis of prostate cancer patients improved

02 Aug 2022 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in males in Sweden. Researchers at Umea University in Sweden have now discovered a faster and easier way to determine who has an aggressive form of cancer, and who has not. "This may have great implications on precision medicine when treating prostate cancer, and on more cancer groups alike," says Maréne Lindstrom, Professor of Pathology at Umea University.

Over 10,000 men are annually diagnosed with prostate cancer in Sweden. Out of those, 2,300 of these lives cannot be saved, whereas many others can be cured or carry harmless tumors. The medical services are struggling with a balancing act between detecting as many cancers as possible in good time to start treatments early and avoiding diagnosing men with cancer when the tumor is harmless as this causes unnecessary anxiety and negatively impacts the quality of life.
