<br />
Seems like a permanent cure for prostrate cancer is going to take a long time. Men are also not able to detect this disease at an early stage because the symptoms such as difficulty in urination, increased frequency of urination (especially at night), pain while passing urine, pain in the lower abdomen and back etc can be confused with some other disorder. Lately, the government and other medical health organizations are trying to spread awareness regarding this disease in a bid to cure it. Also there are many researches underway which are trying to come up with a medicine. However, the vaccine sipuleucel-T for prostrate cancer has grabbed the headlines as it had the potential to develop immunity against this disease.<br />

<br />
Study has been done by the author on the effect of taking lycopene during the surgical of removing the testicles. Further reading will give us more inside to the finding.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #663366;">Lycopene Effective With Prostate Cancer Treatment</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">by Darin Ingels, <em>ND</em>, <em>MT (ASCP)</em></span><br />
<br />
Men with prostate cancer who take supplemental lycopene in addition to surgical removal of the testicles may experience less active disease, less bone pain, and live longer than those who only have surgical removal of the testicles, according to a new study in British Journal of Urology International (2003;92:375'8). This is exciting news for millions of men who have to undergo aggressive treatment for advanced prostate cancer.<br />
<br />
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer found in men over the age of 50 years, with more than 200,000 new cases each year in the United States. The cause of prostate cancer, like many other cancers, is unknown; however, some studies suggest alterations in testosterone metabolism may play a role in its development. Prostate cancer is generally slow growing and may not cause any symptoms until late in the disease. Symptoms may include frequent or painful urination, dribbling after urination, sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder, or blood in the urine. The symptoms of prostate cancer are similar to those of a non-cancerous condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so men experiencing these symptoms should consult their physician for an accurate diagnosis.<br />
<br />
In the new study, 54 men with advanced prostate cancer were randomly assigned to have surgical removal of the testicles (orchidectomy) alone or orchidectomy plus oral supplementation with 4 mg of lycopene a day. Measurements of PSA (a blood marker of prostate cancer activity), bone scans, and urinary flow were taken initially and every three months for two years. Men receiving lycopene started on the day of their surgery.<br />
<br />
After six months, PSA had significantly decreased in both groups, indicating a reduction in prostate cancer activity. However, PSA levels in those receiving lycopene were more than 65% lower than in those who did not receive lycopene. After two years, PSA levels in the lycopene treatment group had fallen into the normal range, while those who only underwent surgery still had PSA levels more than twice the upper limit of normal. Urinary symptoms significantly improved in both groups, but better improvement was again observed in the lycopene group. The lycopene group also experienced less bone pain.<br />
<br />
The survival rates after two years in <span style="color: #336666;">the lycopene-plus-surgery group</span> and surgery-only groups were <span style="color: #336666;">87%</span> and 78%, respectively, a statistically significant difference. No adverse side effects were observed in men taking lycopene.LycopeneLycopene is one of a group of compounds called carotenoids. It is found in high amounts in tomatoes.The findings of this study corroborate the findings of other similar studies examining the effectiveness of lycopene in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, the amount used in the current study (4 mg per day) was substantially less than the amounts used in other studies (30 mg per day). It may also help stimulate the immune system and has been shown to cause cancer cells to die on their own. Although more research is needed to clarify what amount of lycopene is most effective, men with prostate cancer may benefit from taking daily lycopene supplements. <span style="color: #999900;">Eating one moderately sized tomato a day also provides approximately 4 mg of lycopene.</span> Other tomato products, such as an 8-ounce portion of tomato juice or tomato paste may provide up to 25 mg of lycopene.<br />
<br />
Comment<br />
<br />
We can start eating fresh tomatoes daily so that we can add the needed amount of lycopene to our body in order to help relieve the prostate cancer.<br />

<br />
1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hot dogs</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.freeclipartpictures.com/clipart/clip-art/hotdog.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.freeclipartpictures.com/clipart/clip-art/hotdog.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 175px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 233px;" /></a>Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.<br />
<br />
2. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Processed meats and bacon</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:POIAqL6jU-vQAM:http://www.mikegeno.com/Bacon.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:POIAqL6jU-vQAM:http://www.mikegeno.com/Bacon.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 126px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 126px;" /></a>Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doughnuts</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:0_Dlo8q7h6F6SM:http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/gykchin/doughnuts.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:0_Dlo8q7h6F6SM:http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/gykchin/doughnuts.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 115px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 137px;" /></a>Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. <span style="font-weight: bold;">French fries</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:yqKlntWi_XRG6M:http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/FDC/FDC001/french-fries-red_~901141.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:yqKlntWi_XRG6M:http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/FDC/FDC001/french-fries-red_~901141.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 116px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 104px;" /></a>Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .<br />
<br />
5. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chips, crackers, and cookies</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:CqTzSmRICS-ViM:http://www.yolesbiscotti.com/Images/ChocolateChip.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:CqTzSmRICS-ViM:http://www.yolesbiscotti.com/Images/ChocolateChip.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 145px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 97px;" /></a>All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats. <br />

Several years later, they had the same risk of developing the disease as men who took a placebo. In a second study of 14,641 men — some of whom may have had early-stage prostate cancer — a combination of vitamin E and vitamin C didn’t prevent prostate cancer, or any other type of cancer.<br /><br />“It looks like these particular antioxidants are not effective,” says Howard Soule, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of the Prostate Cancer Foundation in Santa Monica, California, who was not involved in either study.<br /><br />According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer in his lifetime, and 1 in 35 will die of the disease. The ACS estimates that 28,660 U.S. men will die of prostate cancer in 2008, accounting for roughly 10 percent of all cancer-related deaths in men.<br />{<a href="http://www.greenliveforever.com/?p=803/" title="Click here to Read More...">Read From Original Source....</a>}Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946954945368869096.post-20837765971507849002008-11-15T01:23:00.000-08:002008-11-15T01:32:28.729-08:00Drug Strengthens Bones in Men Dealing with Prostate Cancer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.anti-aging.org/images/top-logo.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 780px; height: 51px;" src="http://www.anti-aging.org/images/top-logo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.anti-aging.org/blog/bone.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 341px; height: 536px;" src="http://www.anti-aging.org/blog/bone.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Updating you on the latest trends and tips in Wellness and Health!<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />Men who are dealing with prostate cancer may undergo a variety of different aspects of treatment.

The greatest protection came from dehydrated tomatoes that had been rehydrated into tomato paste and supplemented with additional FruHis.<br />{<a href="http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=23197" title="Click here to Read More...">Read From Original Source....</a>}Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946954945368869096.post-64076098632908970462008-11-11T17:57:00.000-08:002008-11-11T18:03:20.799-08:00Broccoli To The Defence<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sun2surf.com/images/sun2surf/articles/23804/26a2-broccoli1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://www.sun2surf.com/images/sun2surf/articles/23804/26a2-broccoli1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sun2surf.com/images/sun2surf/template/logo.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 264px; height: 75px;" src="http://www.sun2surf.com/images/sun2surf/template/logo.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wed, 12 Nov 2008 <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">By: <span style="font-style:italic;">Michael Kahn</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">British scientists have found a chemical in the cruciferous vegetable that can protect men from prostate cancer.</span><br /> <br />JUST a few more portions of broccoli each week may protect men from prostate cancer, British researchers reported. <br /><br />The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumours, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain’s Institute of Food Research.<br /><br />There is plenty of evidence linking a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables to reduce cancer risk. But the study published in the Public Library of Science journal, PLoS One, is the first human trial investigating the potential biological mechanism at work, Mithen added in a telephone interview.<br /><br />"Everybody says eat your vegetables but nobody can tell us why," said Mithen, who led the study.

Advances in technology and robotics have opened the door to alternative laparoscopic procedure. <br /><br />A laparoscopic procedure used to treat prostate cancer is known as the da Vinci Radical Prostatectomy. This surgery was initially hailed as a dramatic advancement in prostate cancer surgery because of its quick recovery time and decreased blood loss (relative to traditional open radical prostatectomy). However, the robotic radical procedure has recently come under scrutiny for having an increased chance of long term complications. <br /><br />Given this new information, each man considering prostate cancer treatment options should question what the trade off he is is willing to take for comfort over potential effectiveness. Short Term Comfort versus Potential Effectiveness: How much are you willing to sacrifice for effectiveness? It is not an easy question to answer, especially with the ease some patients have reported in recovering from a robotic radical prostatectomy procedure.<br /><br />In many instances men experience a hospital stay of less than two days, with less pain and less blood loss. From a first impression standpoint the surgery seems like a natural choice and maintains this impression until you start to review long term data. <br /><br />The Most Effective Prostate Cancer Cure Rates: Prostate cancer patients look to an open prostatectomy when they need assurance of effectiveness and cure rates. The open prostatectomy, as performed by Dr. Patrick Walsh at Johns Hopkins University, has the second-highest documented cure rates in the world at 80%. The physicians that maintain the highest documented cure rates in the world are located in Georgia at Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia (RCOG), home of the oldest and largest seed implant program for prostate cancer in the country. <br /><br />The overall cure rate for <strong>prostate ca</strong>ncer at RCOG is 84%. Being effective means using the same standards for cure rates. Prostate cancer cure rates should be calculated using a PSA cutpoint of 0.2 ng/ml, which provides an "apples to apples" comparison of treatment options. <br /><br />Any man facing a decision about <strong>prostate canc</strong>er treatment options has to consider two things – what treatment gives the best opportunity to be cured of this disease, and what are the complication rates for each treatment option. <br /><br /><strong>ProstRcision Prostate Cancer Treatment:</strong><br /><br />The ProstRcision prostate cancer treatment relies on two forms of radiation therapy, brachytherapy and external beam treatment, to destroy the cancer cells. The first patient was treated with this procedure in 1979 and annually about 1,000 men elect for this operation. Currently Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia is the only location where this <strong>prostate can</strong>cer treatment is available. Over 12,000 men for all 50 states and over 40 countries have journeyed to RCOG to seek cure of their prostate cancer.<br /><br /><strong>Consider the Long Term Risk:</strong><br /><br />So much is known and has been discussed about the robotic radical prostatectomy procedure. The da Vinci Radical Prostatectomy might provide the benefit of short term comfort relative to the traditional radical, but compared to the ProstRcision procedure performed at RCOG, it's actually more arduous. <br /><br />ProstRcision is an outpatient procedure – men go home the same day. Also, it is critical to consider the long term risk. In a May, 2008 published study Dr. Jim C. Hu examined the outcome of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy procedures. <br /><br />Notably patients of the robotic radical procedure had a 40 percent increased risk of scarring that interfered with organ function when compared to patients that elected for an open prostatectomy. To correct this additional corrective surgery could be required. There was also a noticeable difference in need for hormonal or drug therapy six months after surgery. Patients of a laparoscopy procedure typically needed this additional treatment almost a quarter of the time, compared to about ten percent of open prostatectomy patients. <br /><br /><strong>Selecting the Right Treatment: </strong><br /><br />Finding the right treatment begins with doing your research. The opening sentence discussed the concept of having only one opportunity to defeat <strong>prostate cancer</strong>. It is a tough subject to deal with. <br /><br /><strong>Ask questions. </strong><br /><br />Ask about the short term and the long term impact of different treatment options. Work with your doctor to tailor treatment to your condition. Your decision around your treatment could be the biggest decision you make in your life.<br /><br /><br />Author:<br /><br />John Critz helps inform men about prostate cancer treatment options .

Professor Hasan Mukhtar said "Our study adds to growing evidence that pomegranates contain very powerful agents against cancer." The findings might be of a great help top us.<br /> <br />Tests on mice showed the juice dramatically slowed down prostate cancer cell growth.<br /> <br />Pomegranates, native to the Middle East, are packed with healthy anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. <br /><br />The study, by the University of Wisconsin, appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. <br /><br />Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK. <br /><br />Every year over 30,000 men are diagnosed and 10,000 men die from it.<br /> <br />Previous research has shown pomegranate extract is effective against tumours in mouse skin.<br /> <br />And scientists in Israel have shown that drinking a daily glass of the fruit's juice can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.<br /> <br />The Wisconsin team first tested the juice on laboratory cultures of human prostate cancer cells. <br /><br />They found the extract killed the cancer cells - and the higher the dose, the more cells died.<br /> <br />Supplemented diet <br /><br />Next the team injected mice with human prostate cancer cells. One group was given pure water, and two others received water supplemented with 0.1% or 0.2% pomegranate juice. <br /><br />Cancer progression was significantly slowed in mice receiving the higher pomegranate dose. <br /><br />Their blood contained decreased levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a marker commonly used to monitor prostate cancer.<br /> <br />In comparison, tumours grew much faster in animals that were given only water. <br />Lead researcher Professor Hasan Mukhtar said: "Our study, while early, adds to growing evidence that pomegranates contain very powerful agents against cancer, particularly prostate cancer. <br /><br />"There is good reason now to test this fruit in humans, both for cancer prevention and treatment." <br /><br />Dr Chris Hiley, of The Prostate Cancer Charity, said: "This is useful research as it might well benefit both men who may get prostate cancer and men who already have it. <br /><br />"It's still to early to know what, if anything, the science will tell us about potential effects in men, but it is not too soon to point out that diet is plainly significant in the development of prostate cancer. <br /><br />"As there are sound reasons for adopting a healthy diet with a generally increased intake of fruit and vegetables, why not consider pomegranate, and its juice, as one of the ways of achieving this." <br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />The test on mice receiving the higher pomegranate dose shows that cancer progression was significantly slowed and the effect on men still unknown.<br /><br />Source: BBC Newes<br /><br /><a href="http://www.statssheet.com/tools/submit/">Free Search Engine Submission</a> thanks to: <a href="http://www.populararticles.com/">Popular Articles</a>Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946954945368869096.post-56461894090946617952008-06-29T09:09:00.000-07:002008-07-06T01:00:01.996-07:00Fight Prostate Cancer in Its Early Stages With a Prostate Self TestBy <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Chris_Robertson">Chris Robertson</a><br /><br /><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/ezinepublisher/?id=1238510"></a><br />Prostate cancer is one of the deadliest diseases among men, and yet many men are unaware that they have the disease until it's too late. Next to heart attacks, prostate cancer is the leading cause of death for men. Though frequent prostate testing can be less than pleasant (as are many exams such as colon testing or heart stress tests), it's pertinent in the fight of cancer through early detection and treatment.<br /><br />Early detection through a prostate examination can help you and your doctor determine a course of action to help your prostate potentially heal itself or to surgically remove the prostate gland in time before the disease becomes fatal. Prostate testing reveals if the prostate gland is swollen. Even minimal swelling of the prostate can be a sign that it is getting sick though some prostate gland enlargement often occurs as men age. In some cases, men have been completely healed thanks to early detection of a swollen prostate.<br /><br />The prostate gland is located just below the bladder, and is normally about the size of a walnut. It surrounds the urethra, and its main function is to carry urine (out of the bladder) and semen through the penis. A man with prostate cancer may experience symptoms such as becoming incontinent or increased urinating frequency, painful ejaculation during sexual intercourse, or pain or a burning sensation while urinating. But with proper testing through a doctor or prostate self test, swelling can be detected before any of these symptoms appear.<br /><br /><span style="color:#660000;">Benefits of Prostate Self Tests</span><br /><br />Thankfully, there are now prostate self tests that can be performed at home to help in the early detection of this disease. A man who is uncomfortable visiting the doctor may find a prostate self test to be a great solution. The prostate self test works similar to testing in the doctor's office, and should be completed at least once every six months.<br /><br />A prostate self test involves drinking a certain given amount of water and then using a special medical tool, which can be obtained at any local pharmacy without a prescription, or it can even be obtained online. It is an easy process that any man can do, and the test results can be read using simple instructions. The prostate self test reveals if the prostate gland is swollen. Though the prostate self test is not meant to replace regular doctor visits, it can be used as an in-between testing method to keep check on the state of your prostate gland. If you detect swelling through a prostate self test, do see a doctor right away for further examination and to determine if treatment is needed.<br /><br />Prostate self tests can be obtained online, and detailed explanations are provided to help you use the test properly. These tests also make excellent gifts for any man over the age of 25, for Father's Day, birthdays, or holidays. Give the gift of life to yourself or a friend or loved one.<br /><br />With a prostate self test, you can avoid having so many unpleasant doctor visits while staying on top of your male health. Frequent testing is one of the primary preventive measures to help you live a longer, healthier life.
