JAKARTA - Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer experienced by men. This cancer has returned to the spotlight recently after the increase in cases in the United States.

A new report from the American Cancer Society reveals a worrying spike in prostate cancer in the US. Especially for advanced and dangerous stages.

It was stated that male prostate cancer in the United States contributed 30 percent of men's cancer by 2025. Prostate cancer is also the main death from cancer in US men after lung cancer.

The rate of death from prostate cancer is also mentioned twice as high for black men as other ethnic groups or ethnic groups. The report also states that Americans have a 12 percent higher death rate from the disease, although the incidence is lower.

Experts say the lack of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) tests or blood tests measure protein levels that help with early detection of prostate, which is the cause of cases increasing in the US.

Therefore, experts say it is necessary to optimize early diagnosis of prostates for better prevention and treatment.

"Our report underscores the need to double efforts to optimize early diagnosis. It is also to ensure that strategies reach America's native black communities and penduudk in particular," said Rebecca Siegel, MPH, senior scientific director, cancer surveillance research at the American Cancer Society.

To combat the disease, a number of parties are expected to work together, in relation to federal laws to waive charge-sharing requirements. Such as joint payments, reductions, and insurance for prostate cancer screening tests.

"No one should be harmed against cancer. PSA screening for the law will help eliminate major obstacles that can prevent those who are at high risk of contracting this disease," he concluded.
