Pedro Crespo, president of the union in the islands, reminds the popular ones that they committed to reaching 5% of GDP investment in this sector. ANPE Canarias hopes that the Popular Party, which will be in charge of the regional Education department during the next legislature, fulfills what was promised during the electoral campaign, as emphasized by the president of the union, Pedro Crespo. "What is written is written" He points out that although the approaches of the PSOE and the Canary Coalition are already known, having previously directed the department, in the case of the PP this is an unprecedented case in the islands, since it has never been in charge of that responsibility. However, Crespo trusts that if the PP takes the reins, it will assume the answers it gave to the union during the electoral campaign to the three questions posed to them: "What is written is written." The first of these questions, to which the PP responded affirmatively, is the commitment to invest 5% of GDP to advance excellent education. Likewise, it agreed to improve the working conditions and social conditions of teachers, giving stability to staff, intensifying permanent training and reducing bureaucracy. Finally, it committed to a multi-year plan to reduce ratios and another to adapt the networks of public centers, something that "in everything" coincides with ANPE's approaches: "We want to be optimistic." Education reform At the national level, and when elections are called for the month of July, Crespo hopes that in the next legislature there will not be another reform of the educational law because "it would be embarrassing." He remembers that the two previous laws were made in a "hasty and imposed" way.
However, he points out that ANPE shares many aspects of the current law, the LOMLOE, although there are many nuances "that are not the most appropriate." But that does not mean that a "threat" can be posed to change this law that would fill the educational community with "fatigue." He advocates for a minimum agreement that, at the time, was proposed by the then minister Ángel Gabilondo. OECD report Regarding the recent report presented by the OECD, which is committed to eliminating the intensive schedule, Crespo points out that the document is "very Europe Mobile Number List positive" and coincides in many aspects with the approaches of ANPE. However, he understands that the issue of intensive hours does not affect the Canary Islands so much, "because that debate is already over."Early detection, key to the favorable evolution of prostate cancer Hector Ajubita, right, in his office at San Roque University Hospitals in Las Palmas | Photo: HUSR Hector Ajubita, right, in his office at San Roque University Hospitals in Las Palmas | Photo: HUSR Hector Ajubita, head of urology at San Roque University Hospitals in Las Palmas, explains to us the ways of diagnosing and treating a disease that will affect one in four men. On June 11, World Prostate Cancer Day was celebrated, a day that aims to emphasize the importance of early detection of this disease, since the survival of patients depends on it. Hector Ajubita, head of urology at San Roque University Hospitals in Las Palmas, points out that the variety of treatments available today, as well as the experience of the medical team, make this ailment curable in a large number of patients or, at least, treatable. with a notable decrease in side effects.

It reminds us that it is the most frequently diagnosed tumor in men, 30,076 new cases last year, and statistics estimate that one in four Spaniards will suffer from it in the coming years. Each year it claims about five thousand lives, but three-year survival exceeds 90% in treated patients. Asymptomatic in its early stages The importance of early diagnosis of prostate cancer lies in the fact that in the initial stages it is completely asymptomatic or causes symptoms identical to the benign prostate growth that most men experience with age: difficulty urinating, urgent need or to do so more frequently, discomfort in the pelvis, etc. If there are no cases of prostate cancer in close relatives, it is recommended to go to the urologist from the age of 50 for a check-up aimed at early diagnosis of prostate cancer. If you have affected relatives and in black men, it is advisable to advance the check-up to 45 years of age, although it is true that prostate cancer exists in younger men. In the Urology Service of San Roque University Hospitals, multidisciplinary patient management is carried out in a coordinated manner. In addition, it has three specialized centers located in Vegueta, Maspalomas and Vecindario. Prostate cancer diagnosis The Urology Service, directed in Las Palmas by Héctor Ajubita and in Maspalomas by Pablo Juárez, is the one that generally makes the diagnosis of prostate cancer through a simple examination in the office (the so-called “rectal examination”, especially if the PSA is elevated), which allows us to appreciate irregularities in the gland, in addition to performing an ultrasound and determining the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level in the laboratory. In cases of suspected prostate cancer, San Roque University Hospitals has the most advanced equipment in Radiology with a 3 Tesla Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance This technology is combined with the transperineal prostate fusion biopsy that is carried out in the operating room using MRI images together with real-time ultrasound, which, together in some cases with the study with microultrasound, allows diagnose almost all tumors.
