Rhinophyma is most common in males of European heritage over the age of 50. Males are 5 to 30 times as likely to be affected as females, possibly due to androgenic factors. [ 2 ] In the United States, people of predominantly Asian and African ancestry are only rarely affected by the condition.
Prostate cancer screening is the screening process used to detect undiagnosed prostate cancer in men without signs or symptoms. [1] [2] When abnormal prostate tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat and cure, but it is unclear if early detection reduces mortality rates. [2] Screening precedes a diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Mammography is the standard method for breast cancer screening. This method is reported to give a 40% reduction in the risk of dying from the disease. [24]
In a separate study of men from the pre prostate cancer screening era managed with watchful waiting (56% over age 70 years), progression to distant metastasis or prostate cancer death was 13.9% and 12.3%, respectively for Gleason score 6 or below, but considerably higher at 18.2 and 22.7%, 30% and 20%, 44.4% and 55.6% for Gleason 3+4, 4+3, and ...
Screening may identify abnormalities that would never cause a problem in a person's lifetime. An example of this is prostate cancer screening; it has been said that "more men die with prostate cancer than of it". [24] Autopsy studies have shown that between 14 and 77% of elderly men who have died of other causes are found to have had prostate ...
Phymatous rosacea can also affect the chin (gnathophyma), forehead (metophyma), cheeks, eyelids (blepharophyma), and ears (otophyma). [23] Telangiectasias may be present. In ocular rosacea , affected eyes and eyelids may appear red due to telangiectasias and inflammation, and may feel dry, irritated, or gritty.

Women who underwent prophylactic salpingectomy have shown to have a lower incidence of ovarian cancer compared to women who have not ...
Of all women with HSIL results, 2% [8] or less [9] have invasive cervical cancer at that time, however about 20% would progress to having invasive cervical cancer without treatment. [ 10 ] [ needs update ] To combat this progression, HSIL is usually followed by an immediate colposcopy with biopsy to sample or remove the dysplastic tissue.
