“Hand in hand with technological advancements, scientific progress today allows us to do molecular analyses, a “cross-sectional form of detection,” noted José Carlos Machado. It is hoped that “molecular biomarkers will help stratify patients in early diagnosis,” for “greater effectiveness”.”

“Considering other types of cancers, prostate cancer seems to have a bit of a taboo around it; it doesn’t seem to be discussed as much as others. It’s a cancer that people talk about very little. People talk a lot about breast cancer, skin cancer, and many other types, but this is a cancer that is more hidden, especially with men. It should be something discussed more.”
