very early signs of prostate cancer :: Article Creator Researchers Question The Use Of "cancer" For Certain Prostate Conditions A new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that patients may benefit if doctors stop calling certain early-stage changes to the prostate "cancer" at all. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide in men, but far more patients are diagnosed than die of the disease. In 2022, there were nearly 1.5 million cases of prostate cancer, but only 400,000 deaths. Low-grade prostate cancer, commonly known as GG1 among physicians, virtually never metastasizes or causes symptoms. Some medical researchers have wondered recently if it would be a benefit to public health to call GG1 something other than cancer. To further this discussion, researchers convened an international symposium with participants from multiple fie...

early stage diagnosis :: Article Creator Researchers Suggest Rethinking 'cancer' Label For Early-stage Prostate Changes A new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute indicates that patients may benefit if doctors stop calling certain early-stage changes to the prostate "cancer" at all. The paper is titled "When is prostate cancer really cancer?". Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide in men, but far more patients are diagnosed than die of the disease. In 2022, there were nearly 1.5 million cases of prostate cancer, but only 400,000 deaths.

myeloid leukemia symptoms :: Article Creator Treatment-free Remission For Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Leukemias are cancers of the blood cells. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is an uncommon type of cancer of the bone marrow, which produces blood cells. "Myelogenous" refers to the type of blood cells this leukemia affects. "Chronic" means this cancer is more slowly progressing than other severe forms of leukemia. CML is a genetic problem that causes overproduction of a protein that allows some blood cells to grow out of control. But the gene change that causes CML is not hereditary. Parents do not pass the gene to their children. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 9,000 people are diagnosed with CML each year in the U.S. This type of leukemia typically affects older adult males, but both men and women can be diagnosed with CML. It is rarely seen in children. Some people with CML may experience symptoms suc...

This causes a variety of health issues in elderly life. According to the National Council on Aging, about 92% of the elderly have at least one chronic condition, and nearly 77% have two or more.
