The authors studied the practice of precocious diagnosis for prostate cancer among 289 professor-physicians of the School of Medicine, Minas Gerais Federal University, Brazil.
Replies on these preventive practices were received from 135 professor-physicians through a confidential questionnaire administered.
Results show that 20.7% of the professor-physicians "fifty-one years old or more" never had a prostate preventive exam and 36.2% never had a rectal touch.
This data suggests the need for additional investigation and the attention of the health services.

通过发放一份保密问卷,从135名教授级医师那里收到了关于这些预防措施的回复。
结果显示,“51岁及以上”的教授级医师中有20.7%从未进行过前列腺预防检查,36.2%从未进行过直肠指检。
这些数据表明需要进一步调查并引起卫生服务部门的关注。
