Recent studies suggest that 30-40% of men with advanced prostate cancer are undertreated, often missing out on the most effective treatments. Based on reports, this number may be reportedly higher in Maine. Undertreatment is particularly common in elderly patients or those with complex medical histories. Unfortunately, many patients are not given timely access to the full range of therapies that could significantly improve their outcomes – both quantity and quality of life.
