BLUE NOVEMBER: Iruda Silva warns of the importance of early diagnosis of prostate cancer

After Pink October, Brazil has now started the Blue November campaign to prevent prostate cancer. El Salvador Assemblyman Iruda Silva (Republicans) warns that the best way to ensure treatment is early diagnosis.

“Having a preventive examination annually, especially after the age of 40, is an essential care that a person must introduce into his life. It is an act of love and responsibility towards oneself and one’s family,” says the Republican. In addition to treatment, SUS offers several tests, such as biopsy, ultrasound, clinical, laboratory, endoscopy, or radiological examinations. You can’t take care of yourself.”

The international initiative “Blue November” began in Australia in 2003 and was first celebrated in Brazil in 2008. World Prostate Cancer Day falls on November 17.
