The newspaper notes that a growing number of doctors are advocating that low-grade prostate cancer, “which grows very slowly or does not grow at all,” should not be called cancer or carcinoma.

So men face "debilitating side effects" rather than taking a carefully monitored wait-and-see approach.
Oncosurgeon, chemotherapist, candidate of medical sciences and medical director of the MAMMA clinic Anton Ivanov earlier in a conversation with RT spoke about the possibilities of artificial intelligence in diagnosing cancer.
