- The One Inevitable Cause of Prostate Cancer
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] Causes of prostate cancer are multiple: location in the world, ethnic background, breast cancer in close relatives, BBQ'd meat, age, and, believe it or not, NOT having diabetes. In this article we'll take a look at each of these causes and how they relate to prostate cancer.
- Does Prostate Cancer Have Any New Treatment Options?
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] While treatment for prostate cancer varies, and men have a wide menu of choices, there are a few new treatment options in the works that may soon be available. A new vaccine, improved cryosurgery, and a new gene-based therapy are currently in development. This article will examine the current status and details of these new prostate cancer treatments.
- What is the Best Prostate Cancer Treatment ?
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] Prostate cancer patients face many treatment options, and the many, many characteristics of each that must be weighed carefully. Watchful waiting? Surgery? Radiation? Hormones? Cryosurgery? Perhaps even proton beam? And so on. Along with the careful advice of your doctor, one may begin to narrow it down, or begin to feel overwhelmed. What exactly ARE some of these treatments and which one is the best?
- How Cryosurgery Can Eliminate Prostate Cancer
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] A newer surgical procedure is making some headway into the cancer scene. Cryosurgery has been around for years as a treatment for skin cancer, but has recently been refined to be used on other cancers as well, including prostate.
- How I Survived Prostate Cancer
[Cancer:Prostate-Cancer] As one who survived prostate cancer incurred back in the 80s, I can say that it was because of a simple habit that I'm alive today.
- How Can Prostate Cancer Be Treated With Brachytherapy?
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] Radiation therapy for prostate cancer is one of the more common alternatives to a radical prostate removal. It involves sending a beam of radiation directly into the prostate gland to kill cancerous cells and hopefully not affect the surrounding normal tissue. However there is a less drastic alternative for localized cancer confined only to the prostate gland. Known as brachytherapy, this treatment consists of injecting small, rice-sized grains of radioactive material, usually iodine or palladium, directly into the prostate gland. This article will examine the bracytherapy procedure, its details, and possible side effects.
- Of BBQ and Prostate Cancer Prevention
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] As men age, they become increasingly likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. However, there are a few prevention measures that can be taken to decrease risk. Selenium supplementation has recently found strong support, as has greater consumption of fatty fish. Certain kinds of foods such as BBQ can actually increase risk, and foods containing soybeans can decrease risk. All of this is good to know, but does the evidence actually support any of these prostate cancer prevention methods?
- A Surprising Truth About Enlarged Prostate Symptoms
[Health-and-Fitness:Mens-Issues] The symptoms of an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), are perhaps all too familiar to men as they move along in years. The prostate gland surrounds the tube that allows urine out of the body, and as it enlarges it can squeeze this tube. Problems with urination, especially at night, often result. Surprisingly however, many men will find that their symptoms spontaneously wane over the years. This article will explore the seven primary symptoms of an enlarged prostate, and how they can seriously affect a man's quality of life.
