A Senior Registrar in General Surgery at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Dr Ideyonbe Eseile, has advocated for a comprehensive national prostate cancer screening programme for men above 50 years.
Eseile made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) On Wednesday in Ibadan, emphasising that early detection was crucial in managing prostate cancer.
He noted that the Nigeria Cancer Health Fund should develop a comprehensive national prostate cancer screening programme for early detection and life-saving interventions.
Eseile explained that prostate cancer is a slow-growing cancer, and early detection is key.
He identified risk factors to include advancing age 50 years and above, family history of prostate cancer, and obesity.
According to Eseile, prostate cancer can be managed through surgery, medications that block hormones and special substances that nourish prostate cancer cells.
He also mentioned radiotherapy as a treatment option for prostate cancer and its complications.
Eseile emphasised the importance of good nutrition, including vegetables, and healthy eating habits in improving patient outcomes.
He also stressed the significance of family support and psychological therapy for patients with prostate cancer.
The medical expert advised Nigerian men above 50 years to undergo annual medical checks, citing core symptoms such as frequent urination, pain during urination and blood in urine or semen.
He recommended a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test, a simple blood test that could help identify prostate problems.
Eseile concluded by emphasising the importance of men’s health, stating that “health is wealth.”
He encouraged men to prioritise regular checks, avoid alcohol and smoking to maintain healthy lifestyles.(NAN)
