Conscience-based medicine: new approaches to doing prostate cancer patients
Summary. Prostate cancer in the vast majority of patients proceeds benignly and does not endanger life. Nevertheless, tumors in some patients have aggressive manifestations and can lead to death if they are not treated. So, there was a problem forecasting the nature of the course of the disease. This prevents useless difficult treatment when the tumor can be controlled by minimal therapeutic intervention or even lead the patient only under regular diagnostic control. Currently, there are real opportunities to differentiate the degree of anxiety of the disease. However, what has been proven in numerous studies and acknowledged at expert meetings has not become an everyday clinical reality. Explanations are difficult. It is time to practice conscience-based medicine.
