[Reporter Wang Junzhong/Tainan Report] Xu Zixiong, the former president of the Boren Lions Club of Tainan City, Lions Club International, District 300-D1, who is suffering from prostate cancer, feels the importance of prostate cancer prevention for men. The Dalin Xincheng Guozhai Community in the District wanted to provide health consultations for male residents. The local chief hit it off with the Lions Club cadres and physician members. On the 2nd, a free health consultation was held in Xinshengli, South District, attracting more than 250 men to participate. The men who received the health consultation You can also receive 6 eggs, killing two birds with one stone!

Xu Zixiong pointed out that 5 years ago, when he was 68 years old, he was found to have stage 2 prostate cancer. At that time, he underwent surgery immediately and has been followed up every 3 months.

As far as he knows, American men have a high rate of prostate cancer due to eating more red meat, etc., but most American men are screened for prostate cancer at the age of 50, and the early detection of cancer is stage 1 or 2. Therefore, the mortality rate is low. On the other hand, males in Taiwan wait until they have a condition before seeking medical treatment. Some cancers have reached stage 3 or 4, and the mortality rate is relatively high.
