How to Prevent Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer can develop due to various factors. There is no clear evidence to confirm the
specific causes for prostate cancer.
It is too early to ascertain which of the prevention strategies are most effective or deliver best
results.
Cancer Tests: Regular screening through PSA and DRE tests can warn you of prostate cancer.
These tests may not be always conclusive, but can offer an insight into things to come.
Doctors normally advise all men over the age of fifty to undergo these tests annually.
Genetic factors: If you have any direct relatives (father, grandfather, or brother) with prostate
cancer, chances of you contracting prostate cancer are probably higher than average.
Similarly, if female relatives have breast cancer, you might have a tendency for prostate cancer in
your genes.
Going for regular checkups can help detection of prostate cancer in the early stages and prevent it
from developing into advanced stages.
Race: Prostate cancer is predominant in African-Americans and Europeans. Asian men record a
very low incidence of prostate cancer. Yet, Asian men immigrating to the western countries show a
higher incidence of prostate cancer.
Although you cannot change your race, adopting screening techniques is a good preventive
measure.
Diet: A diet rich in animal fat and dairy products may increase your risk of prostate cancer. Avoid
fatty food. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits like tomatoes and grapefruit. Include more fiber foods,
whole-grain foods like whole-wheat bread and brown rice, and restrict your intake of salt and
sweets.
Include omega-3 fatty acids in your regular diet from salmon, mackerel and herring.
Eat phytoestrogens - available through soybeans and similar legumes.
Eat moderate meals and restrict your accumulation of calories.
Green Tea: Green tea contains antioxidants like polyphenols that some people claim may help to
prevent prostate cancer. Some people say that you can use supplements to reap similar benefits.
Beverages: Some people claim that four to eight glasses of red wine over a week may lower the
prostate cancer risk.
Refrain from alcohol consumption totally or restrict to less than two drinks in a day.
Sexual Activity: Frequent sexual activity may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Frequent
ejaculations help flush away toxins and prevent their build-up in the prostate. This also improves
your immune system and offers better protection from prostate cancer.
It may also relax your mind and lower unnecessary nervous system activity.
Zyflamend and Selenium: Taking selenium supplements is claimed by some people to perhaps
reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Some people claim that herbal supplements like Zyflamend and the intake of selenium supplements
may reduce your prostate cancer risk. They also claim that these preparations may help to reduce
the effects of prostate cancer.
Vitamin D through Sunlight: Regular sun exposure can allow accumulation of the necessary
amount of vitamin D in your body. Vitamin D is believed by some to offer protection from prostate
cancer.
However, you must also protect yourself against excessive exposure, as this can cause kidney
damage and hypocalcaemia.
Physical exercises: Maintain a schedule of regular workouts and other physical exercise. Exercise
releases specific hormones that may help with some effects of prostate cancer.
None of these factors can guarantee any benefit, let alone complete immunity to prostate cancer.
Consult your doctor before using any preparation or starting any exercise or other therapy at all.
Prostate Cancer Prevention
There is no substance, treatment or system which is proven to prevent prostate or any other
cancer.
However, many people claim to have found something which they say has helped them or people
they know to reduce their chance of getting prostate cancer or helped with the effects of the
disease.
This section tries to cover many of those reports but I do not endorse any of them.
Always consult your doctor for qualified professional advice which will take into account your own
circumstances, medical condition and history.
Complementary and Alternative Therapies
What does complementary and alternative therapy mean?
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative medicines define complementary and
alternative therapies as diverse health and medical care services, products and practices that are
not the part of the conventional medicine. These therapies are sometimes used with the
conventional form of medication. Alternative medication is used by some people instead of
conventional medication.
Are complementary and alternative therapies used widely?
Studies of complementary and alternative therapy are inconsistent. There has been a rise in the
percentage of people in the USA that have tried some form of complementary or alternative
therapy from 33.8 in 1990 to 42.1 in 1997. Another analysis states that only 28.9% of US adults
had used complementary and alternative therapy at least once.
What points must be considered before using complementary and alternative therapy?
Cancer patients who are considering the use or are using complementary or alternative therapy
must discuss their decision with the physician or nurses, as they would have done with any
therapeutic application. This is essential, as there may be some interference from complementary
and alternative therapy.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and National Cancer
Institute (NCI) sponsoring complementary and alternative therapy are co-sponsoring or sponsoring
different clinical methods in the study of complementary and alternative therapy for cancer. Many of
these studies are to check the effects of the complementary methods along with conventional
methods.
These include:
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is used by some people to try to reduce the symptoms of colorectal
cancer that is in an advanced state.
Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: This therapy, with or without shark cartilage
is used to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer which cannot be surgically removed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: This therapy is used in patients with a laryngectomy. Larynx means
the voice box and laryngectomy is the process of removing a part or the entire larynx from the
human body.
Massage Therapy: This therapy is claimed by some people to bring relief in patients who are
suffering from the fatigue associated with the disease.
Pancreatic Enzyme Therapy: This therapy and a specialized diet are used by some people as part
of their treatment for pancreatic cancer.
Mistletoe Extract: Along with chemotherapy, this treatment is claimed by some people to be
applicable for people suffering from solid tumors.
What questions should patients ask their doctor or health care provider before starting
complementary and alternative therapy?
Here are few questions that cancer patients should be asking their health care providers:
- What are the benefits I can expect from this therapy?
- Are there any risks involved in this therapy?
- Are the benefits enough to outweigh the risk involved?
- What side effects should I expect from this therapy?
- Will this therapy interfere with my conventional treatment?
- Is the complementary and alternative therapy a clinical trial package?
- Will my complementary and alternative therapy be covered under the health insurance?

"You have prostate cancer and here is the prognosis...."
Imagine hearing such dreaded words and feel frightened and panic stricken!
It has been estimated in US alone, there will be more that 186,000+ new prostate cancer cases
and almost 29,000 deaths from prostate cancer.
Many people assume that prostate cancer only attacks the elderly and figure they'll just wait and
hope for the best. Bad decision. While the majority of cases do occur in men over 70, it has been
known to attack men as young as 50.
The disease also crosses ethnic lines and is the second most common malignant cancer in men.
African American men are at a higher risk than white men including Hispanic men.
According to the National Cancel Institute, "Dramatic differences in the incidence of prostate cancer
are also seen in different populations around the world." This is telling because there may be
dietary or other environmental factors involved.
