Infertile men are at greater risk for developing prostate cancer


Infertile men are at nearly three times greater risk for developing clinically significant prostate cancer than the average man according to a new study published in the journal, Cancer.  “Known risk factors for prostate cancer include age, family history and race. Now, these findings provide evidence that male infertility also plays a significant role in determining risk”

The study was conducted by a team of resea

Prostate Cancer Cells

Sat,03 March 2012


Researchers at Columbia University recently analyzed the positive effects of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) on human and mouse prostate cancer cell lines. The results, as reported by lead researcher Dr. Aaron Katz in the most recent publication of Integrative Cancer Therapies, show that MCP inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent cancer cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. "Along with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes, MCP helps my patients keep the cancer at bay and slows i

The Role Of Sex Hormones In The Growth Of Prostate Cancer

Thu,01 March 2012


Progress toward understanding the role of sex hormones in the growth of prostate cancer—the most common cancer in U.S. men—has been hindered by the lack of a suitable laboratory research model.

The good news is that there's been plenty of research over the past several years on what makes up a diet that's healthy for guys in particular. The result: A list of foods that could do for a man's health what the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue can do for his.

Prostate Cancer Recurrence

Thu,27 October 2011



Men who were taking statins at the time of radical prostatectomy had a 30% reduction in prostate cancer recurrence, data reported here showed.

Statin users also had lower PSA values and were more likely to have T1 disease than nonusers, Robert J. Hamilton, M.D., of the University of Toronto, said at the American Urological Association meeting.

"Our findings suggest that statins may slow prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy," said Dr. Hamilton. However, he emphasized, "at this point we cannot say with confidence that statins redu
