Pune: To address the rising number of prostate cancer cases in the country, a free medical check-up to screen prostate cancer has been organised by the Institute for Prostate Cancer aiming to create awareness.
As per the Indian National Cancer Registry, in India, there is lack of awareness about prostate cancer leading to almost 60 per cent of patients presenting at an advanced stage to the doctor.
According to doctors, an MRI scan is used for accurate localization of suspicious areas for biopsy which increases the sensitivity for the correct diagnosis. If diagnosed at early stage prostate cancer can be completely cured. Screening should be done after 50 years of age.
