Family History

2009-11-22T08:59:00.000-08:00

Ten to 15 per cent of men with prostate cancer, have a family history of the disease. Men with a family history, tend to develop prostate cancer at an early age (under 55 years old).

Men who have one first-degree relative (father, brother) with prostate cancer have a two-fold increased risk of developing prostate cancer during their lifetime. With two first degree relatives, the risk increases five-fold, and with three or more first-degree relatives the risk is very high - almost 100%. Some studies have also shown a link with breast cancer in first-degree relatives.

There is a prostate cancer gene. The fact that a gene exists gives us hope for new tests and a cure for the hereditary form of the disease. Experts estimate that 65 per cent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 56, develop the disease because they have the prostate cancer gene. They also estimate that 97 per cent of men with the gene will develop prostate cancer by age 85. This group of men has the most to gain from the discovery of the prostate cancer gene.

take measures to reduce your risk or possibly slow the disease's development.

Eat well. High-fat diets have been linked to prostate cancer. Therefore, limiting your intake of high-fat foods and emphasizing fruits, vegetables and whole fibers may help you reduce your risk. Foods rich in lycopene, an antioxidant, also may help lower your prostate cancer risk. These foods include raw or cooked tomatoes, tomato products, grapefruit and watermelon. Garlic and some vegetables such as arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower also may help fight cancer. Other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, have been linked to lower prostate cancer risk, but studies haven't found a benefit to taking supplements to create high levels of these nutrients in your body. Instead, it may be helpful to choose foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals so that you can maintain healthy levels of these nutrients in your body.

Vitamin C & Vitamin D

2009-11-07T07:44:00.000-08:00

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a antioxidant, meaning it helps prevent cell damage. Vitamin C has been shown to reduce cancer growth in some types of cells grown in laboratories, but this effect has only been seen at high doses over long periods of time. Studies in humans have not shown a reduced risk of prostate cancer with vitamin C.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a vitamin that is found in food and is also produced by the body and activated after exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun. Studies suggest that activated vitamin D may be broken down in the prostate, where it may play a role in preventing cancer. Research also suggests there may be a link between increased exposure to sunlight and decreased risk of prostate cancer.

While low levels of vitamin D seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer, large supplementary doses of vitamin D increase the level of calcium in the blood which in turn can cause other problems such as kidney stones and hardening of the arteries. Synthetic forms of vitamin D have been created to try to produce an anti-tumour effect without impacting on blood calcium levels.

In late 2004, researchers at the University of Toronto reported the results of a trial in 15 men with advanced prostate cancer. The patients all received 2,000 units/day of cholecalciferol (a form of vitamin D) for up to 21 months. Fourteen of the 15 men showed evidence of a clinical response and none had any side effects. While the trial was small, these are the most positive results for a vitamin D compound to date in human cancer.

Good dietary sources of vitamin D include:

Milk fortified with vitamin D
Fatty fish (such as salmon and mackerel)
Cod liver oil / fish liver oil
Some breads and cereals
Some egg yolks

Soy <3

2009-11-04T15:11:00.000-08:00

Prevention from prostatecancer.ca

Soy

Research has shown that eating soy can protect you from cancer. This is probably because soy is rich in compounds called Isoflavones which are strong antioxidants that protect cells against damage and inhibit tumour growth.

There is evidence that one type of Isoflavone in particular, genistein, can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. This may be one reason why those who have a high intake of soy, have a relatively low risk of prostate cancer.

Green Tea

2009-11-04T08:20:00.000-08:00

Green Tea

Prostate cancer is much less common in Asian countries. In addition to their low fat diets, many studies show that green tea may also protect the prostate. Green tea – the most popular tea in China, Japan and other Asian countries, is an antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage. In a number of recent studies it has been suggested that green tea has anti-tumour effects.

XX
XXWanna know a little more? K, let’s get a bit specific…

XXBecause of the danger prostate cancer poses to men throughout the world, it’s super important to keep up on our health. It’s easy to forget about some mysterious thing that we have never, and likely never will see. So the stache is a strange and constant reminder that this year 4,400 men will lose the fight against prostate cancer.

XXIn line with Skate4Cancer’s belief that the cure is knowledge, the first step is always prevention. If we can get dudes stoked on getting medical check-ups, we’re into it. We’re supporting this innovative cause by taking part and encouraging all guys to do the same. But because we’re not really into the money thing, this isn’t a fundraiser for us. We’ll just be focusing on awareness as usual. Grow a milk-hammock, get checked out… by doctors.

Here’s how it works:

XXAs of November 1^st, every guy shaves his face clean. The next part is easy; just grow out a heavy burner in whatever style you think is best for you. Remember though, the more attention it brings the better because then you’re likely to get more questions. And when that happens, you explain that you’re just saving lives… No biggy.

XXBut girls, don’t feel left out! We’re in this together right? Support Movember by encouraging your guy friends to go for it. And when they give excuses, or lose resolve mid-Movember, remind them how great they look and how superman’s got nothing on them.

XXAt the end of the glorious month, your hairy new face decoration should have a name and a place in your heart forever. Before-and-after photos are either a good or a bad idea…we’re not sure. In any case, once Movember comes to a close, gather some friends and celebrate! Party like Burt Reynolds! You’ve earned it you Mo-bros and Mo-sistas. Now take a deep breath and stretch it out. Ready? Set……. MO!!!
