With the boom in the tech industry, there has been a rapid development in SaaS (software-as-a-service) platforms for businesses to utilize. Whether you are looking to make your operations process more efficient or trying to save costs, some mistakes could prove expensive. So, here are a few common mistakes when buying software and how to dodge them: Not defining your needs Your business goals can determine what you are looking for from your software.

Three tips to prevent and manage prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men in our country. The prostate gland, found below the bladder, helps make and transport semen. Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the gland grow uncontrollably, eventually forming a tumor. Trouble urinating and blood in the urine are common symptoms. The condition is curable if detected early. Here are the treatments, meal plans, and lifestyle tips that help prevent and manage prostate cancer: Treatment options Treatment is vital to kill harmful cells and stop the disease from spreading. Popular treatment options for prostate cancer are: Xofigo It is an FDA-approved option for treating metastatic prostate cancer in cases where the disease has spread to the bones but not other organs. Xofigo binds with bone minerals, delivering radiation directly to bone tumors. Doing so reduces damage to the nearby normal tissues. Xofigo’s most common side effects include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Enzalutamide It helps treat prostate cancer in men, where cancer has spread to other body parts. Enzalutamide is also used for those who do not get better with hormone therapy or other surgical treatments for lowering testosterone levels. It works by blocking the effects of the male reproductive hormone, which, in turn, stops cancer growth and further spread.
