PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate cancer is the second biggest killer of men, the medical profession is still not completely cured of the disease method. Prostate specific antigen and two androgen receptor protein in prostate cancer is the main material.

American researchers found that vitamin E can interfere with the prostate cancer cells of prostate specific antigen and androgen receptor capacity. When prostate cancer cells were exposed to vitamin E, prostate specific antigen levels will drop 90%, that the growth of cancer cells was inhibited. In addition, the number of cancer cells was reduced by 25% to 50%. This study supports previous studies found that taking vitamin E supplements of men, the incidence of prostate cancer can be one-third drop.

The prostate is wrapping men beneath the bladder, urethra around the size of an iron-like gland for men unique. According to statistics, China's annual 7 ~ 80,000 new cases of prostate cancer, 95% occurred in people older than 60, prostate cancer incidence continued to increase with increasing age. Clinical found that prostate cancer occurred in the posterior lobe, and no more early symptoms, even some discomfort, would not be enough to cause the patient's attention. When the tumor increased urethral compression, often confused with BPH. The club, about 80% of the patients first discovered lesions distant metastasis, and then found that prostate cancer. At this time, advanced lesions have a poor prognosis. Thus, the early detection of prostate cancer is clearly important.

The University of Michigan Medical School and his colleagues, Dr. JB Ammori that radiotherapy combined gemcitabine (Gem / RT) as a new means of adjuvant therapy is expected for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, but its side effects limit its application.

Movement is not only beneficial to the heart, the prevention of prostate cancer also have benefits; A new study shows that the conduct of campaigns for prostate cancer in elderly men and the risk of death will be much lower.

Research found that men over the age of 65 if the weekly three hours of strenuous exercise, like running, cycling, swimming, then was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer or die of the disease can reduce the risk of nearly 70%.

Many organ and systemic tumor can be a similar situation occurred, prostate can be benign and malignant. Cancer is cancer and sarcoma, a benign tumor of smooth muscle fiber and fibroids. One prostate sarcoma, leiomyoma, fiber fibroids, the incidence of very low.

Prostate cancer is more common in older male malignancy in Europe and the United States a high incidence of countries, the Nordic countries the incidence of prostate cancer for men, a cancer of the United States ranked second. In China the incidence of prostate cancer will be much lower, but in recent years there have been an increasing trend.

A recent medical study found that a daily diet containing large caloric people, regardless of their eating what kind of food, regardless of their level of body weight, are more vulnerable to prostate cancer.

Medical research on the age of 444 middle-aged and older men for investigation of the diet. The study found that those with high caloric intake have a lower risk of prostate cancer than other possibilities caloric intake of less than nearly four times. In these subjects, 46 men in the survey ago was diagnosed with prostate cancer, while 22 of them are to participate in the study were found to suffer from prostate cancer. The researchers said their findings confirmed the dietary habits and high fever card high incidence of prostate cancer associated theory.
