María Natalia Gandur Quiroga, Chief of the Division of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the Angel H. Roffo Oncology Institute, shared a post on X about a recent paper by Markus Arvendell et al. published in European Urology Open Science:
“New study on prostate cancer screening!
Men’s Attitudes Towards Participation in Organised Prostate Cancer Testing.
- Informed but hesitant: Men appreciate screening invitations but suggest clearer communication on risks and benefits.
- Barriers to participation: Low motivation, fear of diagnosis, distrust in healthcare, and accessibility issues.
- Facilitators: Desire for certainty, early detection, and taking advantage of available screening.
- Key takeaway: Better communication and accessibility can enhance participation in screening programs!”
