Quick Glance: Prostate Cancer: A Growing Threat That Can Be Pushed Back, Defeated

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and poses an increasing threat, especially in Uganda where cases are on the rise.

Risk factors such as family history and lifestyle choices impact the development of prostate cancer, which escalates with age.

Symptoms of prostate cancer necessitate regular medical check-ups to enable early diagnosis and treatment.

The limited resources of the Uganda Cancer Institute hinder the comprehensive care of prostate cancer patients, prompting a shift in priorities and the development of a more accessible diagnostic and management approach.

Quick Glance: Taiwan Rejects China's Aid Offer After Earthquake

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.
