“For men 70 and older, PSA screening is not recommended due to the greater likelihood of harms outweighing benefits. Sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, may reduce the risk for some types of cancer, including prostate cancer.”

“This new study confirms that evidence and highlights the fact that cholesterol may play a role in prostate cancer development and progression. [...] It remains to be seen whether or not lowering your PSA through statin medications could potentially mask the presence of prostate disease.”

“Prostate inflammation plays a major role in prostate cancer. Vitamin D is a hormone that regulates nearly 5% of the human genome and activates anti-inflammatory genes. 32 studies from January 1966 to January 2013 with more than 500,000 participants found that vitamin D blood levels between 40-60 ng/ml were associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.”

“The bee venom reduced prostate inflammation in rats and contains a compound called melittin, which has also been shown to have anticancer properties.”

“Another study found that prostate cancer patients randomized to either active monitoring, surgery or radiation therapy all had the same risk of death from the cancer after 10 years. These results suggest that active monitoring of prostate cancer patients may be as good as early radical treatment and may cause fewer side effects.”

“Night time exposure to blue light is associated with a 1.5-fold and 2-fold higher risk of developing breast and prostate cancer, respectively. Breast and prostate cancers are also significantly higher in shift workers.”

“FTA: > Obesity in black men substantially increases the risk of low- and high-grade prostate cancer, while obesity in white men moderately reduces the risk of low-grade cancer and only slightly increases the risk of high-grade cancer, according to the first large, prospective study to examine how race and obesity jointly affect prostate cancer risk.”

“an 11–54% lower risk of oral, pharynx, colon, prostate cancer and melanoma. Mechanistically, coffee actively protects cells by reducing DNA damage, specifically DNA double-strand breaks, which are particularly damaging and cancer-promoting.”

“FTA: > Higher levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of fat, in the blood of men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer, were associated with increased risk for disease recurrence, according to a study”

“FTA: > Taking vitamin D supplements could slow or even reverse the progression of less aggressive, or low-grade, prostate tumors without the need for surgery or radiation, scientists say.”
