Bangalore: As a part of International Men's Day, a free test campaign for prostate cancer and kidney screening was held at Regal hospital.
Dr. Suri Raju, Founder of Regal Hospital addressed the media during the event and said "Today men have highest cancer, diabetes, heart and kidney issues. This year especially men are under severe distress and stressful condition as many lost their jobs due to COVID-19. Due to these issues' men are becoming ill and risking their health and family. Men should focus on their both physical and mental health by attending regular health check and yoga meditation etc."
To focus on their health and self-care International Men's Day is celebrated on November 19th every year.
"A study conducted in Mumbai revealed that those patients who underwent prostate cancer treatment with surgery had a better survival rate (91%).
These findings prove that while treatment may save a life or extend the number of survival years, awareness about and prevention of the disease has become crucial in today's day and age." he said.
Prostate Cancer more prevalent in urban areas than rural areas "Previously it was thought, that prevalence of prostate cancer in India is far lower as compared to the western countries but with the increased migration of rural population to the urban areas, changing life styles and other factors are helping us pick up the cases. It usually affects men in the age group of 65+ years. However, recently there has been an increase in reports of cancer in younger men in the age group of 35-44 and 55-64 residing in metropolitan cities," added Dr Suri Raju.
