Healthy Eating and Prostate Cancer Blog
News of possible new treatments for prostate cancer has filled the media recently—the vaccine Provenge leads the list. In addition to these exciting developments, there is continuing evidence that healthy eating is a another “weapon” in the arsenal for battling prostate cancer. And as I’ve said many times before, controlling what we eat is something we can all do—now! Part of the key to a successful diet is having some sensible homemade foods on hand when you’re looking for a snack, in order to avoid overdosing on cookies or potato chips—in my house Pringles are not allowed within a 3 mile radius! For me, having a boldly flavored rice or vegetable salad in the refrigerator keeps me on the path to healthy eating, whether I’m foraging for snacks or looking to quickly make a light lunch. Plus, most salads are an easy way to get more fiber and antioxidants into your diet.

By Simon J. Hall, M.D., Director, Deane Prostate Health & Research Center, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York
When a man is initially diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is a disturbingly personal experience, associated with feelings of vulnerability, fear, and loneliness. For many men, this is the first time that their own mortality has come into view. In my experience, most patients are overwhelmed with these feelings of being alone, and they want to retreat and face their disease in private, even though friends and family may offer support. While dealing with these psychological issues, newly diagnosed patients at the same time must wrestle with the often difficult decision as to what is the best treatment: watchful waiting, radical prostatectomy, or the latest advances in radiation therapy and seed implantation. read more... |
