Doctors Antonio Allona, head of the Urology team at the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid, and Juan Ignacio Martínez Salamanca, associate head of the Urology team at the same hospital, talk about prevention and current treatments for prostate cancer, a very prevalent disease but with a low mortality rate. In Spain alone, between 34,000 and 35,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. For doctors, the best prevention of prostate cancer is early detection and knowing the family history, since the latter are the main risk factor for the disease. In fact, they double the risk of suffering from it.
