Prostate Cancer Facts by Joe Y Chang
Joe Y Chang, Professor and Clinical Section Chief at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X:
“Prostate Cancer Facts:
-
Happens: 1 in 8 men.
-
90% can be diagnosed by PSA.
-
TX options for early disease: surgery or radiotherapy. Both have 10-year survival nearly 100%.
-
TX in metastatic disease hormone deprivation. TX with others, 5-Y survival 30%.
-
Key: Early diagnosis and TX.”
Joe Y Chang outlined critical statistics and treatment pathways for prostate cancer, noting that PSA testing can detect 90% of cases and that early-stage treatment leads to high survival. In contrast, metastatic cases treated with hormone deprivation have a much lower five-year survival, underlining the importance of early diagnosis.
