Prostate cancer screening has long been controversial due to legitimate concerns about overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Long-term data from the largest international studies have shown that PSA-guided screening can effectively reduce prostate cancer mortality, and the European Commission has recently recommended the introduction of national screening programs. The multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate can reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies and simultaneously increased the detection of clinically significant prostate tumours. Key Words: PSA, Prostate Cancer, Screening, Preventive Medicine

There are about 5000 dialysis patients in Switzerland. They represent a vulnerable and increasingly elderly population. Dialysis patients often have multiple co-morbidities ; therefore, caregivers from different disciplines are regularly confronted with these patients, which requires specific knowledge, also with regard to their nutrition. In this review, we will discuss possible dietary deficits and excesses in hemodialysis patients and the latest therapeutic recommendations. Key Words: hemodialysis, co-morbidities, dietary, nutritional supplements, vitamins
