This section aims to indicate the number of surgical procedures related to prostate cancer.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland found only in men and located in front of the rectum.
Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in men, especially those over 65. Risk factors include: family history (which carries double the risk compared to those without a family history); high testosterone levels (a hormone that promotes cell growth); obesity and a high-fat diet. This type of cancer has a high success rate.
It is important to know that there are indicators, developed by the National Outcomes Program (PNE), developed by AGENAS on behalf of the Ministry of Health, which provide information on the number of interventions and their outcomes.
For prostate cancer, a specific indicator has been developed based on the number of surgeries performed. The greater the number of surgeries performed by a healthcare facility, the greater the experience of its staff.
Your doctor will address your concerns and guide you in making an informed decision about the treatment plan to follow. Contact him or her for all the information you need for your health needs.
