Prostate Cancer
What Is Prostate Gland?
It is a malignant tumor that develops in the prostate gland. It consists of an uncontrolled growth of prostate cells. This makes, among other things, the prostate, by its position, press on the bladder and urethra by preventing the normal passage of urine.
Most prostate cancers grow very slowly, although some do it quickly, they can even spread.
The prostate is a glandular organ, the size of a walnut, found in men and located around the bladder neck and part of the urethra, in front of the rectum. Secretes fluid, white and viscous, which is mixed with sperm at the time of ejaculation.
There are lymph vessels surrounding the prostate and that lead to pelvic lymph nodes.
When a prostate cancer, there is the possibility that cancer cells spreading through lymphatic vessels and affect the lymph and then to every body.
PROSTATE: MILK AND LATICINI INCREASE THE RISK OF CANCER
Eating too often meat and dairy products may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. This suggests a study published in the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine which concluded that a diet rich in these foods raises levels of the hormone IGF-1 (insulin growth factor, type 1) which promotes cell growth and associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers, including that of the prostate.

Walnuts are defending from prostate cancer
Nuts may help against prostate cancer by regulating the activity of genes involved, hindering the growth of the tumor (if present).
The research suggests a University of California, directed by Dr. Paul Davies and presented at the meeting in San Francisco of the American Chemical Association.
The team of Davies has worked with some rodents genetically engineered to develop prostate cancer. Read the rest of this entry »
