Prostate cancer not as fatal
Swedish researches reported that only a small number of men who are diagnosed within the early stages of prostate cancer actually die from the disease, even if they have not been treated. This cancer study concluded that even after ten years of dealing with prostate cancer, less than three percent of the victims actually die. This demonstrates the need to remain calm when you have been diagnosed with this low-risk form of cancer.
Cancer researcher Grace Lu-Yao states that there is no real need to panic because prostate cancer is no longer believed to be a fatal disease. Modern prostate screening tests have demonstrated that several forms of prostate cancers are found to never actually develop into a serious disease; thus a removal of the prostate or treatment with radiation may not recommended as they may contain harsh side effects that are far worse than the actual disease itself.
One such study was conducted to track men under the age of seventy years old. After eight years, nearly twenty percent of these men had died; however this number was about the same as those who were not diagnosed with the disease. The final conclusion of the test states that nearly 2.4% of men with this low-risk form of cancer would actually die from the disease within a ten year time period if they did not under go treatment. It is not yet clear how much of a variation this number is from those who had undergone treatment.
Moreover, the usual things, more products, you can beat prostate cancer and stop its development.
As shown by the opening of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, useful antioxidants in red wine and green tea have a combining effect against important cell signaling SphK1/S1P, necessary for tumor growth.
This signaling pathway plays a major role in other cancers such as colon cancer, breast cancer and gastric cancer. It is proved that the compounds in the studied drinks destroy this way and thus serve as an important step forward in the development of anticancer drugs, say U.S. oncologists.
Scientists have conducted laboratory experiments which showed that the path SphK1/S1P a target of polyphenols in the tea and wine, to kill cancer cells in the prostate. Studies conducted on mice with artificially induced, and tumor development, which was given polyphenols extracted from beverages. It was found that the polyphenols reduced tumor growth by blocking the path SphK1/S1P. To mimic the preventive effects of polyphenols, was carried out another experiment using three groups of mice that drank either plain water or water with compounds EGCG in green tea, or with another component of tea called polifenon E. prostate cancer cells were implanted into the body of experimental animals. According to the results, tumor size decreased sharply from those of mice that received EGCG or medicine with polifenonom E.
