Only a few men go to the recommended check-ups. It’s okay, they think – they suffer 15 to 20 percent more cancers than women and die from it more often. Which diseases often go undetected and what happens during the most important preventive medical check-ups.
Men and pensions – they go together like Black Forest gateau and beer. Or a barbecue in a tuxedo. Not even half of the tough guys go to the checks that are supposed to detect chronic diseases and cancer early.
