If you have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, your doctor may have given you a choice of treatment options. But what to choose and how? Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men, with over 200,000 cases diagnosed each year in the United States. It occurs when cells in the prostate, a gland located under the bladder that is necessary for proper sexual function in men, becomes cancerous due to a flux in testosterone. Most cases of prostate cancer don't occur until after 50 years of age, but in recent years the percentage of men in their 30s and 40s diagnosed with prostate problems and prostate cancer has been steadily rising.

Author: Daniel XavierA Organização Mundial da Saúde estima que, por ano, ocorram mais de 1.050.000 casos novos de câncer de mama em todo o mundo, o que o torna o câncer mais comum entre as mulheres. No Brasil, não tem sido diferente. Informações processadas pelos Registros de Câncer de Base Populacional, disponíveis para 16 cidades brasileiras, mostram que na década de 90, este foi o câncer mais freqüente no país. As maiores taxas de incidência foram observadas em São Paulo, no Distrito Federal e em Porto Alegre. Além disso, o câncer de mama constitui-se na primeira causa de morte, por câncer, entre as mulheres, registrando-se uma variação percentual relativa de mais de 80 % em pouco mais de duas décadas: a taxa de mortalidade padronizada por idade, por 100.000 mulheres, aumentou de 5,77 em 1979, para 9,74 em 2000 (Ministério da Saúde, 2002). Internacionalmente, tem-se observado, em alguns países desenvolvidos, como é o caso dos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Reino Unido, Holanda, Dinamarca e Noruega, um aumento da incidência do câncer de mama acompanhado de uma redução da mortalidade por esse câncer, o que está associado à detecção precoce por meio da...more
