Diabetesimpacts the body’s ability to process sugar, causing sugar to build up in the blood. This has been linked to a range of health issues, including heart and kidney conditions, stroke and vision loss. The majority of diabetes cases can either be prevented or managed with lifestyle chan...
Prostate cancer screening with DRE, TRUS, and PSA testing was offered to 2,400 randomly selected men 55-70 years old. Among 1,782 examined, 65 (3.6%) men with prostate cancer were diagnosed. The PSA results were correlated to the diagnosis, the men's age, and the prostate volume. Least...
The majority of the cohort patients were diagnosed in the Tyrolean PSA screening program. Patients' median age was 61 years (range 35–82), PR tumor GS's were o7 in 341 (32.8%), 7 in 571 (55.0%) and 47 in 120 (11.5%) cases. In total 757 (73.1%) tumors were organ-confined (...
This can contribute to under- or overtreatment, thereby negatively impacting long-term outcomes. Based on the range of cognitive, physical and functional health status among older BC patients, age should not be the sole criterion for determining management of the older adult with BC. Multiple...

The study identified 152 BCM patients with a median age of 64 years (range 19–96 years). The median body mass index (BMI) was 28 kg/m2. Men age 65 years or younger (n = 78, 51%) were more overweight/obese than men older than 65 years (n = 74, 49%) (89% vs 74...
Improvements in genomic and molecular methods are expanding the range of potential applications for circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), both in a research setting and as a 'liquid biopsy' for cancer management. Proof-of-principle studies have demonstrated the translational potential of ctDNA for prognost...
