La mayoría de los hombres con cáncer de próstata pueden evitar o retrasar el tratamiento, según un estudio

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:00:14 GMT

Los investigadores han encontrado evidencia a largo plazo de que el control activo del cáncer de próstata localizado es una alternativa segura a la cirugía o la radiación inmediatas.Los resultados, publicados el sábado, son alentadores para los hombres que quieren evitar los problemas sexuales y de incontinencia relacionados con el tratamiento, dijo la Dra. Stacy Loeb, especialista en cáncer de próstata de NYU Langone Health que no participó en la investigación.El estudio comparó directamente los tres enfoques: cirugía para extirpar tumores, tratamiento con radiación y control.

Y la supervivencia del cáncer de próstata para los tres grupos fue alta: 97 % independientemente del enfoque del tratamiento. “Esa también es una muy buena noticia”.Los...

Late last month, the Transportation Security Administration found a live explosive device in a checked bag month at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania. TSA officers took the appropriate actions and confirmed the find. Airport surveillance camera footage helped authorities identify a suspect, and the FBI made an arrest.There are lessons to be learned from this incident.As much as the TSA touts stopping firearms from getting onto airplanes, explosives are a more dangerous threat to the air system. That is why travelers are limited to 3-ounce liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in their carry-on bags. With improvised explosive devices, numerous factors can mask what the item is and make it easy to missOf critical importance, the person now in custody was known to local law enforcement.
