Prostate Cancer


prostate

Introduction:

The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but researchers believe that it results from an acquired or genetic mutation of DNA within prostate cells. According to the American Cancer Society, the lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer is about 15% and the lifetime risk of mortality from prostate cancer is 2.7% (1). Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in older men, and is the most frequent cause of cancer related death in men over the age of 75. The probability of developing prostate cancer rises with age. The key to treatment of prostate cancer is the prevention of the disease in the first place. The purpose of Preventive Health Advisor will be to focus on lifestyle habits and Integrative Medicine with potential for prevention of prostate cancer, reduction in risk of prostate cancer, and interventions for those already diagnosed with prostate cancer. These options will include supplements, nutrients, dietary changes, exercise, and screening. Screening is important because symptoms of prostate cancer only occur after it has taken hold, and early detection may have a greater chance of cure. Specific conventional medical and surgical treatment options for prostate cancer will not be discussed here, but guidance of this care will be the responsibility of the patient’s primary care and Urology physicians.
