Prostate Cx is cancerous tumor on the prostate gland.
BPH is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia over growth of cells in the prostate caused my hormones. The prostate grows in two different ways. In one type of growth, cells multiply around the urethra and squeeze it, much like you can squeeze a straw. The second type of growth is middle-lobe prostate growth in which cells grow into the urethra and the bladder outlet area. This type of growth typically requires surgery.

Nonfat milk linked to prostate cancer 1 hour, 37 minutes ago
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The amount of calcium and vitamin D in the diet appears to have little or no impact on the risk of prostate cancer, but the consumption of low-fat or nonfat milk may increase the risk of the malignancy, according to the results of two studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
ADVERTISEMENT
Dietary calcium and dairy products have been thought to increase the risk of prostate cancer by affecting vitamin D metabolism. Data from several prospective studies have supported an association, but many other studies have failed to establish a link.
To explore this topic further, Dr. Song-Yi Park, from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, and colleagues, analyzed data from subjects enrolled in the Multiethnic Cohort Study. This study, conducted between 1993 and 2002, included adults between 45 and 75 years old, were primarily from five different ethnic or racial groups, and lived in California or Hawaii.
A total of 82,483 men from the study completed a quantitative food frequency questionnaire and various factors, such as weight, smoking status, and education levels were also noted, Park%26#039;s group said.
During an average follow-up period of 8 years, 4,404 men developed prostate cancer. There was no evidence that calcium or vitamin D from any source increased the risk of prostate cancer. This held true across all racial and ethnic groups.
In an overall analysis of food groups, the consumption of dairy products and milk were not associated with prostate cancer risk, the authors found. Further analysis, however, suggested that low-fat or nonfat milk did increase the risk of localized tumors or non-aggressive tumors, while whole milk decreased this risk.
In a similar analysis, Dr. Yikyung Park, from the National Cancer Institute at National Institutes (NIH) of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues investigated the relationship of calcium and vitamin D and prostate cancer in 293,888 men enrolled in the NIH-American Association of Retired Persons Diet and Health Study, conducted between 1995 and 2001. The average follow-up period was 6 years.
No link between total or supplemental dietary calcium and the total number of non-advanced prostate cancer cases was noted. Total calcium intake was tied to advanced and fatal disease, but both associations fell short of statistical significance.
Similar to the first study%26#039;s findings, skim milk was linked with advanced prostate cancer. Calcium from non-dairy food, by contrast, was tied to a reduced risk of non-advanced prostate cancer.
%26quot;Our findings do not provide strong support for the hypothesis that calcium and dairy foods increase the risk of prostate cancer. The results from other large…studies, with adequate numbers of advanced and fatal prostate cancers, may shed further light on this question,%26quot; Park%26#039;s team concludes.|||drink ketchup it prevents cancer and looks like blood, pretty cool huh?|||Lots of water, lots of veggies. I remember when they said you had to drink 8 - 8oz. of milk and get so many oz. of each food group every day. But let%26#039;s face it, if you were to do that, we%26#039;d all look like the side of a barn.|||eat your veg and drink water|||Drink 1% or no milk. Heck there%26#039;s tuns of other drinks
-Beer
-pop
-water
-juice
-alcohol|||i don%26#039;t have a prostate, however the non fat milk products do help lose inches in the waist. i eat all the no fat icecream i want everynight and have lost 2 inches in my waist and 13 lbs!! true. in 3 months. i think it%26#039;s the calcium. ??? oh PS. prostate cancer is the result of going too long without sex. long periods of not having sex have been shown to cause all kinds of prostate problems. including cancer.|||I was JUST reading that on the Yahoo homepage… I gotta say WTF is up with all these studies?? I am surprised they haven%26#039;t said that drinking water is bad for you. Beef is bad for you, milk is bad for you, blah blah blah. They say tomatoes are good, cranberries are good, pomegranates are good… yeah, that%26#039;s today, tomorrow they%26#039;re going to say they%26#039;re poisonous or they cause anal leakage… ugh!|||Eat and drink what you normally would because the credibility of food industry research is questionable at best. You left out that lowfat milk is included along with the nonfat BTW.
Why would anyone here in V %26amp; V take this research seriously anyways? Oh yeah, it%26#039;s because they agree with it. The same types of warnings have been given regarding soy and the vegers here cry %26quot;Fraud!%26quot;. If you believe this article about milk you sure as hell better believe the warnings about soy, otherwise you%26#039;re just enacting a double-standard and the only one who suffers is yourself.|||That%26#039;s the same thing I said, what the hell can we eat. They found anything to come up with.
What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer starts in the prostate gland. The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It is the size of a large walnut and is located just below the bladder at the base of the penis. The prostate surrounds the urethra – the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis. The main function of the prostate gland is to produce the seminal fluid.
Prostate cancers start in the glandular tissue of the prostate and are called adenocarcinomas. Prostate cancer is often slow-growing and can be managed successfully. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men.
What causes prostate cancer?
There is no single cause of prostate cancer, but some factors appear to increase the risk of developing it:
age – particularly after 65 (uncommon in men under 50)
family history of prostate cancer
diet high in fat
African ancestry
The effects of diet (especially a high fat diet), obesity, inactivity and working with cadmium are being studied. Some men develop prostate cancer without any of these risk factors.
Some men develop prostate cancer without any of these risk factors.
Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer in its early stages is a slow-growing cancer and may not cause any signs or symptoms. It may be found when you’ve had a PSA test or digital rectal examination. Symptoms appear once the tumour enlarges the prostate gland or spreads to other organs.
Signs and symptoms for prostate cancer are:
need to urinate often, especially at night
intense need to urinate (urgency)
difficulty in starting or stopping the urine flow
inability to urinate
weak, decreased or interrupted urine stream
a sense of incompletely emptying the bladder
burning or pain during urination
blood in the urine or semen
painful ejaculation
If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important that you have them checked by your doctor. Most enlargements of the prostate are not cancer.
How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
Your doctor may have suspected prostate cancer after talking with you about your health and completing a physical examination.
You may have had a DRE (digital rectal examination) and a blood test for a substance called PSA (prostate specific antigen) to look for signs of cancer. If your PSA result is higher than expected for your age, a more detailed analysis may help determine if it’s prostate cancer, or another prostate problem.
A number of special tests are usually necessary to confirm a prostate cancer diagnosis. They include:
Biopsy
Cells or tissues are removed from the body and checked under a microscope. If the cells are cancerous, they may be studied further to see how fast they are growing.
There are many ways to do a biopsy. A prostate biopsy is often taken during an ultrasound. Several samples of prostate tissue are removed through the rectum. This is uncomfortable but not painful, and is done with a local anesthetic. The tissue is checked for signs of cancer and to estimate its grade. The grade of a tumour tells you how active or aggressive the tumour is. In prostate cancer the grade is usually described as a Gleason score from 2 to 10. The lower the score the better.
Imaging studies
X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans (computerized axial tomography), MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) and bone scans allow tissues, organs and bones to be examined in more detail. They may be uncomfortable but are usually painless. An ultrasound is typically the only imaging study needed to diagnose prostate cancer.
Staging for prostate cancer
Once a definite diagnosis of cancer has been made, it is important to know the stage of your cancer. The stage helps determine which treatment will work best for you. The stage of a cancer depends on its size and the extent to which it has spread to other parts of the body. Complete staging may only be possible after surgery or additional tests and it may be necessary to remove some lymph nodes near the cancer.
Sometimes the stage of a cancer is described as a number – Stage 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. The higher numbers are used for cancers that have spread. Sometimes the stage is described using the “TNM system” which is a combination of letters and numbers that are a bit like a postal code (for example, T2N1M0). The T, N and M stand for Tumour, Nodes and Metastases. The number following the “T” indicates the size of the tumour, and the numbers following the “N” and the “M” indicate the extent to which lymph nodes or other parts of the body are involved. Sometimes other staging systems are used. Ask your doctor to tell you the stage of your cancer and to explain what the numbers and letters mean in your case.
What treatment will you have for prostate cancer?
Once your doctors know the type, grade and stage of your cancer, they will decide which treatment will work best for your type of cancer, and any other health issues you may have. You will be encouraged to help make the final treatment choices.
Because prostate cancer is often slow-growing, you may be offered a program of careful, regular follow-up with PSA testing and clinical examinations. This is called watchful waiting.
If active treatment is recommended, your treatment may include:
surgery
radiation therapy
hormone therapy

During treatment
Learn more about ways to manage and control your pain and discomfort, side effects and stress when you are having cancer treatments.
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are scientific studies to test new ways of preventing, treating or managing cancer. Ask your doctor if there is a clinical trial suitable for you as a treatment option.
Complementary and alternative therapies
Some people choose to use complementary or alternative therapies together with or instead of their conventional treatments or medicine. Tell your doctor if you are using these therapies as they might affect tests or treatments.
Support
Everyone’s cancer experience is different. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or are caring for someone with cancer, you will probably need to deal with many day-to-day issues, make tough decisions, and cope with a range of emotions.

I am really want to know the best medicine of this coz I am now taking so many medicines…. this is my email address Balt_wooton@ yahoo.com|||It would help if you had mentioned what stage prostate cancer that you have and what treatments you have already tried and whether or not they helped.
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types…|||This is a complex question that needs to be answered by a professional. Prostate cancer can be treated surgically, with radiation/chemo or hormonal medications.
You need to see an oncologist who can determine the proper treatment based on the stage of your disease and other factors which need to be taken into consideration when planning a treatment regimen.
Best of luck!|||This remedy works for prostate cancer and there are no side effects.It is the best remedy I have come across.There is no cost involved, just 2 hours of time everyday.
Cancer hates oxygen and cannot live in a high-oxygen environment.If you want to supplement the medical treatment you receive(or not receive) with some alternative therapy then this is for you. You need to help your body to build up your immune system.The breathing exercises - pranayam is a holistic approach creating extra oxygen supply in the body and will slowly help with the health problem.Do the pranayam to see the benefits.Build up your timing slowly and after four weeks at the suggested maximum duration you will start to notice benefits gradually.
What is known:Do the pranayam and reap the health benefit.How it works in the body is not known – but people may build their own theory.
The small print: Keep doing pranayam after you are better for minimum 30 minutes a day for rest of life to maintain health.
Who will notice benefits first:
a) People with Pca and other health conditions undergoing treatment and suffering side effects.
b) People who cannot be treated for some reason and cannot do physical exercise.
Watch and wait patients with no symptoms, will see improvement only when PSA test is done, but will feel generally better.
People who have been treated successfully, should do pranayam as well, as there is a chance of recurrence.
Monitor your conditions/results regularly and it will help you and others observe the progress.
The pranayam techniques:
Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.

Only by doing you will benefit and will feel good that you can do something to help the body.Copy and print this to improve your technique and stay focused.This is simplified pranayam for everyone and you do not have to go to classes to learn. This is for life, unlike short term classes where you do it in the class then stop when classes are over.
It should be, but do not take chances. Ask that the PSA blood test be a part of your annual physical. I survived Prostate cancer surgery. Cancer free for five years. My last PSA was 0,002.

Do you have a lot of men in your family, at your age, who have had prostate cancer? If so, your doctor may want to have you tested earlier than typical.
Otherwise, I think its normal to test patients at age 50.
nothing is always terminal, has he had treatments or has he been told hes terminal? is he bedridden yet? has it spread to other organs? go with him to the doctor and talk about what to expect,|||it depends on each case, seriously. there is no projected life expentancy. some factors are: his natural disposition (was he a very healthy, robust man?), the extent to which the cancer progressed before he was diagnosed.|||It probably will be longer than you realize if luck is on his (and your) side. Prostatic cancer is a slow one. It becomes deadly when it metastasizes and spreads to other organs. Of course, as other posters have noted, no two cases are the same.
To give you a sense of perspective, my Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 82, now 3½ years later, with TWO colostomy bags, he is still living each day to the fullest. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and treated for it 5 years ago, and is still going strong at the age of 84. In both instances, the hormonal environment of their bodies was not conducive to aggressive tumor growth. Were they younger indviduals, I would be the world%26#039;d oldest orphan, as the tumor growth would have ravaged them.
Who knew that growing old could have at least one advantage? This may be a dynamic in your father%26#039;s recovery, as well.

Sometimes when this cancer is first detected in a patient over 70 years old no action would be taken as the person would most probably die from some other cause long before the cancer.

Chemo is an option if your dog is in the early stages. My dog was unfortunately in the later stages and we just kept him comfy. His had also spread to the bladder. Life expectancy for this is 3-6 months. Some dogs can live longer some not that long.
