Men over 60 with low-risk prostate cancer could spend ten years with no active treatment, have a better sex life as a result, yet still be very unlikely to die from the disease, new research has found.
The findings come from two new studies looking at active surveillance of prostate cancer - when the disease is closely monitored but not treated - presented at the European Association of Urology congress, EAU21, today.
The first uses data from Sweden s National Prostate Cancer Register, which has information on virtually every man diagnosed with the disease in that country since 1998 - 23,649 of whom went on active surveillance.

Suomi avasi kunniakonsulaatin Irakin toiseksi suurimpaan kaupunkiin Mosuliin 18. maaliskuuta. Olin itse suurlähettiläänä avaamassa kunniakonsulaattia Ninewan maakunnan kuvernöörin Najm al-Jiburin kanssa, sillä kunniakonsulaatin toimialue kattaa koko maakunnan alueen.
Tutkijatohtori Katri Gadd totesi Turun Sanomien puheenvuoro-kirjoituksessaan (TS 29.6.), että kunniakonsulaatti Mosulissa vahingoittaa Suomen maakuvaa. Gaddin mukaan kunniakonsulaatin perustamisella Suomi hiljaisesti hyväksyy alueella toimivien militioiden toiminnan ja korruption.
Gaddin mainitsemat perusongelmat ovat todellisia. Transparency Internationalin mukaan Irak on valtiona kansainvälisen korruptiovertailun häntäpäässä. Lisäksi militioiden erilaisia iskuja kansainvälisiä – siis myös suomalaisia – kriisinhallintajoukkoja vastaan tapahtuu aivan liian usein eri puolilla Irakia.

Adults with ADHD are at higher risk of a wide range of physical conditions, including nervous system, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and metabolic diseases, according to a large register-based study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden published in
The Lancet Psychiatry.
Identifying co-occurring physical diseases may have important implications for treating adults with ADHD and for benefiting the long-term health and quality of life of patients.
