Mr. Okorie’s prostate cancer experience started in 2009 at the age of 43. His weight loss had been complained about by his wife and she persuaded him to see the doctor. He had barely stepped into the four walls of a hospital in years, so the doctor advised him to undergo some screening upon finding nothing significant that explained his weight loss.

Since its founding in 1933, one of the main objectives of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is to convene global leaders in cancer control—from treatment centers, researchers, patient groups, organizations carrying out diagnostics, screening and prevention programmes—to better fight cancer together. This also remains a core priority for the organization in these surreal times as we adapt to the COVID‐19 pandemic. COVID‐19 has presented huge challenges for cancer professionals, patients and cancer societies, globally. In 2020, a questionnaire‐based survey was conducted by UICC amongst 1200 members in 172 countries to better understand and assess the impact of the pandemic
People are sometimes under the impression that breast cancer always causes a lump that can be felt during a self-exam. They might use this as a reason to skip mammograms, thinking they’ll be able to feel any change that might indicate a problem. However, breast cancer doesn’t always cause a lump. By the time it does, the cancer might have already moved beyond the breast into the lymph nodes. Although performing breast self-exams is certainly a good idea, it isn’t a substitute for regular screening with mammography.
The prostate is a chestnut shaped gland located between the rectum and the throat of the bladder. It straddles the urethra with two lobes that reach around both sides of it. Muscle tissue in the lobes allows you to regulate the flow of urine and to stop it if necessary. The gland produces seminal fluid, the viscous fluid that carries semen during orgasm.
