http://prostatecancerinfolink.net/2011/06/27/surprise-being-married-improves-prostate-cancer-survival/ Surprise! Being married improves prostate cancer survival It has been known for years that marital status impacts the likelihood of stage at diagnosis and survival in a number of different types of cancer (prostate cancer included). However, a new study has now confirmed this is a large, US, population-based analysis of prostate cancer patients. Their findings showed that: •9.1 percent of the patients were separated, divorced, or widowed at the time of diagnosis. Of course the other very reasonable conclusion from this finding is that men need to learn how to better look after their own health care starting at a very early age! |
