Older Men Tend To Get Less Effective Care For Prostate Cancer

Just because a person is old, he should not be prevented from receiving treatment for prostate cancer. Treatment measures such as surgery and radiation therapy are common protocols adopted for treating men having prostate cancer. However, a recent study conducted in the US shows that if men are more than 75 years old, they tend to get less effective treatment compared to younger men with the same problem.
The study was conducted by the University of California in San Francisco and the researchers claim that from their findings it appears as though older men (more than 75 years) are usually under treated for prostate cancer and this could be the reason why there is a higher rate of mortality among this particular category of men.

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers in men. In the US around 160 men out 100,000 develop this kind of cancer each and year and prostate cancer is responsible for killing a sixth of the diagnosed patients.

The researchers found sixty percent of men, who were 75 years old, received just hormone therapy for the cancer although this therapy is not believed to be a cure, and eight percent of the men in the same age group did not receive any treatment but their progress was followed by their oncologists.

On the other hand, just 18 percent to 26 percent of younger men with this cancer were given hormone therapy and just 1 percent of them were put on the wait and watch list.
This led the researchers to conclude that older men with the cancer are treated differently from younger men. And that age is the driving factor for receiving cancer treatment rather than the risk.
