Prostate cancer screening in the Middle East and North Africa: a cross-sectional study on current practices
This study revealed that prostate cancer screening rates were low, with barriers including a lack of patient awareness and formal training among physicians. Addressing these issues through culturally tailored education programs may improve early detection rates and ultimately reduce the burden of prostate cancer in the Middle East and North Africa region.
