The Emirates Oncology Society organized a panel discussion on guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, as part of the efforts of the United Arab Emirates to reduce cancer deaths to about 18% by 2021.
The panel discussion was moderated by Dr. Hamid Al Shamsi, President of the Emirates Oncology Society, and was attended by a number of senior healthcare professionals.
Reducing the number of deaths due to prostate cancer is one of the key performance indicators for providing world-class healthcare, which is one of the strategic goals of the UAE in the field of health care.
Dr. Hamid Al Shamsi stressed: “Early detection is the key to controlling prostate cancer, as the disease is in its early stages and less powerful, and there will be no need for strong treatments, as patients’ survival rates will rise to about 100%.”
He cautioned that if the disease is left undetected, and transmitted to other parts of the body, the survival rate for 5 years will decrease dramatically, by up to 30%.
On the need to raise awareness about prostate cancer, which affects men, Al Shamsi said: “Every man over the age of 45 must undergo a PSA test, which is a simple blood test that is used to screen for prostate cancer, which helps in early detection.” .
The episode focused on the emotional burden of disease, which is often overlooked, with the aim of allowing all parties involved to create a support program based on the needs of cancer patients, to improve their daily lifestyle.
The discussions also shed light on the efforts of the United Arab Emirates in introducing advanced technology for cancer treatment, in addition to applying the latest trends, developing advanced facilities, and bringing in more medical experts, in order to help patients, by providing appropriate treatment.
Prostate cancer symptoms usually appear during the late stages of the disease. During the panel discussion, experts encouraged screening through genetic testing for men with a strong family history of cancer (such as prostate, breast, pancreatic or colon cancer) in order to fully understand these risks.
