Many men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and treatment choices often focus on survival only. Experts argue that treatments should also consider side effects like urinary problems and sexual issues, so patients can make informed decisions about their care.
Key Facts
About 333,830 men in the U.S. are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2026.
An estimated 36,320 men will die from prostate cancer in 2026.
Treatments like surgery can cause urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, which impact quality of life for years.
Radiation treatment is linked to more urinary problems and possibly a higher risk of death from all causes.
Prostate cancer varies; some grow slowly and may not require immediate treatment.
New imaging and targeted therapies aim to reduce damage to healthy tissue but are not suitable for all cases.
Active surveillance, which means careful monitoring without immediate treatment, is a valid choice for some patients.
Patients need clear, evidence-based information about risks and benefits to choose treatments that fit their health and lifestyle.

Kashim Chowdhury, a UK civil servant, is on trial for fraud after holding five full-time public sector jobs at the same time without telling his employers. He said he was "in a panic" and "not thinking straight" when applying for multiple roles and that his jobs helped him cope while caring for his sick mother.
Key Facts
Chowdhury held five full-time civil service jobs simultaneously in 2023.
These jobs included roles at the Department for Environment (Defra), Department of Health, Food Standards Agency, Department for Business and Trade, and Home Office.
He was contracted to work 183 hours a week, which is more than the total hours in a week.
Each job paid a full-time salary; in one month, he earned £11,000.
The prosecution says he exploited the work-from-home setup to hide his multiple jobs and took sick leave when needed.
Chowdhury said he applied hurriedly and did not want some of the jobs but accepted offers coming at the same time.
He cared for his ill mother, which he said made him overwhelmed and the jobs served as a link to the outside world for him.
Chowdhury denies intending to act dishonestly or gain unfairly.

A federal appeals court ruled against the Trump administration’s claim that the six-month detention limit for immigrants should restart when they are detained again. The court decided that the six-month limit applies only once and sent the case of immigrant Kaveh Abedi back to a lower court for further review.
Key Facts
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit made the ruling in June 2025.
The case involved Kaveh Abedi, an Iranian immigrant detained by ICE after being released more than 20 years earlier.
The court said the six-month detention limit starts only once after a removal order becomes final and should not reset if detainees are held again later.
The six-month rule comes from a 2001 Supreme Court case, Zadvydas v. Davis, which protects immigrants from long-term detention if deportation is unlikely soon.
Abedi had been protected from removal under the Convention Against Torture and lived in the U.S. lawfully for many years.
The court also found that Abedi was not given a prompt chance to challenge his detention, violating federal rules.
The ruling sends the case back to the lower court to reconsider Abedi’s detention without restarting the six-month clock.
This ruling does not mean all immigrants detained again must be released, but it clarifies how courts should apply detention limits.
