Men over 50 years old are more at risk of tumors due to the general lack of information on the symptoms of the disease.
These were the results of a survey conducted on 12 500 middle-aged men in the UK, the results of which were published on Friday.
According to the study, more than half of men are totally ignorant about the signs of prostate cancer or stomach, two of the most common types of tumors in males.
Even fewer are those who perform overhaul, making the life of those affected by the disease to be dramatically lower than what would be if a suitable treatment after identification of the first signs.
Due to a greater awareness, women have more knowledge about the symptoms of tumors and are more likely to survive.
