00:00Men who neglect this crucial practice face 45% higher risk of prostate cancer.
00:06One in eight men will face prostate cancer, which ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.
00:13This fact underscores the critical importance of early detection for increasing survival rates.
00:21Prostate cancer risk factors encompass age, ethnicity, genetics, family history, and lifestyle choices.
00:28Regular screenings can significantly reduce risk by 45%, thereby improving survival and health outcomes.
00:38The ERSPC study revealed regular screenings reduced prostate cancer death risk by 20%, yet attendance is declining.
00:48This trend, identified by Erasmus MC researchers, correlates with increased cancer risk among men in Europe.
00:53Out of 72,460 men, one in six missed appointments, increasing their prostate cancer death risk by 45%.
01:06Care avoiders often neglect health practices.
01:10Dr. Lienen emphasizes understanding why screenings are avoided to foster global change using specifically tailored educational initiatives worldwide.
01:18Men attending regular screenings lead healthier lifestyles, managing stress, exercising, and dieting well.
01:28Those missing screenings often cite denial, fear, busy lives, or view screenings as invasive, affecting their participation and overall health.
01:40Screenings now primarily involve the prostate-specific antigen test, a simple blood test, replacing invasive exams.
01:47This non-invasive method is key for early prostate cancer detection and significantly impacts survival.
