Men over 40, African American men, those with a family history of prostate cancer, and obese men are at higher risk of prostate problems. Herbal preparations for prostate issues should be used cautiously as some have been linked to blood clots, breast tenderness, and loss of libido. Environmental exposures like farming and working with metals like cadmium may increase prostate cancer risk, though more research is still needed to confirm this relationship.

Why are some men at greater risk for prostate cancer?
Age is the most important risk factor for prostate cancer. Having relatives with prostate or breast cancer increases risk. Certain rare genes like BRCA2 can raise the risk of important prostate cancer by 7 times. Black men are more likely to get prostate cancer than Asian men. A healthy diet and exercise can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer health talk
This document discusses prostate cancer and provides information on screening and treatment. It begins by defining the prostate gland and prostate cancer. It then notes that prostate cancer is very common in Nigeria, being the most common cancer in men, and usually presents at a late stage. Screening involves PSA testing and digital rectal exams starting at age 40. If cancer is detected, treatment options depend on the stage and include surgery, radiation, hormone therapy and chemotherapy. Adopting a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise may help prevent prostate cancer.
Update on breast cancer english presentation
This document provides an overview of breast cancer including:
1. It defines breast cancer and discusses common risk factors such as age, family history, genetic factors, reproductive history, hormone therapy, lifestyle factors like alcohol and obesity.
2. It outlines prevention strategies such as medications like tamoxifen, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, limiting alcohol.
3. It discusses early detection methods like mammography and new technologies as well as treatment options.
Us2aware
The document discusses prostate cancer facts that men over 40 should know. It explains that prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in American men and the second leading cause of cancer death. While symptoms may not always be present, early detection through annual PSA tests and digital rectal exams starting at age 40 or age 45 for those with risk factors can help find prostate cancer early and increase chances of survival. The document provides information on risk factors like age, race, family history and diet to help men understand their risk and need for screening.
Prostate cancer cause defined symptom risk factors
The document discusses prostate cancer, including its definition as a cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which produces seminal fluid. It notes that prostate cancer is a prevalent form of cancer that is usually slow-forming and remains confined to the prostate gland, allowing for better treatment success if discovered early. It describes symptoms, risk factors like age and family history, screening tests like the PSA test and digital rectal exam, stages of prostate cancer, types of standard treatment including watchful waiting, surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy, latest clinical trials, and potential side effects of treatment.
Nov 2017 #CRCWebinar :: Genetic Testing & You
In this webinar, Fight CRC Medical Advisory Board member, Heather Hampel, MS, LGC, will discuss the major sub-types of hereditary colon cancer, the types of genetic tests that by be useful for you and your family, and what to do with your test results.
Prostate cancer - prevention and treatment
Prostate cancer is a major health issue, with a new case being diagnosed every 3 minutes in the US and a death occurring every 15 minutes. Risk factors include age, family history, race, and lifestyle. Diet appears to play an important role, with increased risks seen with high fat intake and animal products, while vegetables, soy, nuts and seeds are protective. Chemoprevention aims to use natural compounds to prevent or delay cancer progression, with immune enhancers like vitamins A, C, D, and selenium showing promise. Simple lifestyle changes around nutrition, exercise, and other factors may help reduce prostate cancer risk and progression.
Reproductive System lecture B slides
This document provides an overview of the male reproductive system, including common disorders and diseases. It defines key terms and discusses conditions such as balanitis, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostate cancer, testicular disorders, and testicular cancer. Treatment options are outlined depending on the specific condition or stage of cancer. Combining forms used in medical terms related to the male reproductive system are also defined.

An introduction to prostate cancer diagnosis
An introduction to week 1 of a free online course on enhancing prostate cancer care, delivered by Sheffield Hallam University in the UK (Oct-Nov 2014). Week 1 focuses on diagnosis.
Prostate Cancer and Plant Based Nutrition
Stephan Esser MD presented on prostate cancer and plant-based nutrition. He discussed definitions of cancer, statistics on prostate cancer mortality, and the anatomy and physiology of the prostate. He reviewed risk factors for prostate cancer development and evidence that plant-based diets may help reduce risk and slow cancer progression by decreasing androgen levels, IGF-1, and exposure to carcinogens while increasing antioxidant intake. Studies presented showed prostate cancer patients on plant-based diets experienced PSA decreases and gene expression changes associated with reduced cancer growth. The presentation concluded by encouraging eating more plants to support prostate health.
Carcinoma Prostate: etiopathogenesis and staging- 2022 guidelines
1) Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the fourth most common overall. It is more common in older men and those with a family history.
2) Risk factors include age, ethnicity (higher risk in African American men), family history, certain genetic factors, diet high in animal fat and low in vegetables/tomatoes/soy, smoking, and possibly obesity. Coffee and omega-3 fatty acids may lower risk.
3) The prostate has three zones - peripheral, transitional, and central - and prostate cancer most commonly arises from the peripheral zone.
March 2016 Webinar - Lynch Syndrome & Hereditary Colorectal Cancer
Genetic counselor, Heather Herrmann, will dive in to the topic of Lynch Syndrome & CRC. Heather has enjoyed working in both pediatric genetics and cancer genetics throughout her career. She has focused the last eight years in the area of hereditary cancer syndromes and hereditary cancer risk assessment.
Prostate Cancer Presentation v3
This document provides information about prostate cancer, including that it is the most common cancer in men in the UK with over 35,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Risk factors include age over 50, family history, and ethnicity. Symptoms include frequent urination and weak urine flow. Tests like PSA blood tests and digital rectal exams can help diagnose prostate problems. Treatment options and support groups are also discussed.
Topics in men's health
A short presentation on topics specific to men's health such as prostate cancer, BPH and testicular cancer.
Oranges
1. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men, with over 234,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
2. Prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do occur, the cancer has usually spread beyond the prostate. Regular screening is recommended for men starting at age 40.
3. Risk factors for prostate cancer include increasing age, family history of the disease, and race. African American men face higher risks and are more likely to die from prostate cancer.
An informative and, dare I say, entertaining view of prostate cancer
I put this presentation together for my husband, a family doctor who presents to small community groups.
This marks my first attempt at following the Slide:ology approach.
Hereditary Genetics focusing on Prostate Cancer
This document discusses genetic testing for prostate cancer and its implications. It summarizes that genetic testing can change screening recommendations, impact treatment of advanced disease, and be life-saving for family members. It provides examples of significant family histories and genetic syndromes that increase prostate cancer risk. Major findings are that 11.8% of men with metastatic prostate cancer had germline DNA repair gene mutations, and that BRCA2 and BRCA1 carriers have higher risks of positive biopsy and poorer prognosis prostate cancer. The document concludes that genetic testing is indicated for those meeting risk criteria to help guide screening and treatment.
Prevention of cancer in women
This document discusses prevention of breast and cervical cancer in women. It covers leading causes of death for women, risk factors, screening methods, symptoms, and preventive measures. The key points are:
1) Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are the top three leading causes of death for women. Cancer screening and treatments have improved survival rates to 66% for people diagnosed between 1966-2002.
2) Risk factors for cancer include age, family history, lifestyle factors like smoking, and genetic conditions. Screening methods include self-exams, clinical exams, mammography, and HPV testing to detect cancers early.
3) Preventive measures include vaccinations, safe sexual practices, smoking cessation, healthy

This document summarizes information on prostate cancer, including risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options. It also discusses the potential role of nutrition in prostate cancer. Key points include:
- Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death. Risk increases with age and is higher in African-American men and those with a family history.
- Diagnosis involves a digital rectal exam, PSA test, biopsy. Treatment depends on cancer severity and includes surveillance, surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy.
- Nutritional factors like a low-fat, plant-based diet high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids may reduce prostate cancer risk and slow progression by
Cancer causing-foods-mj
The document discusses various food and dietary factors that can increase cancer risk. It notes that processed meats, red meat, overcooked meats, sugary drinks, white bread, canned foods, excess milk, chips, poorly stored peanuts, and food additives like BHT are linked to higher cancer rates. Additionally, it recommends balancing omega-6 and -3 fats, avoiding sodium nitrites in processed meats, and following a diet with fruits, vegetables, beans, fish and whole grains to help prevent cancer through nutrition.
Genetics of Cancer
Talia Donenberg of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center discussed the genetics of cancer prevention at the 2011 WellBeingWell Conference in Miami.
Prostate Cancer
1 in 6 American men will develop prostate cancer. This year over 234,000 men will be diagnosed and every 19 minutes a man dies from the disease. Prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms for years allowing the cancer to spread before being detected, which is why regular screening for men over 40 is recommended. Some potential symptoms include urinary problems, erectile dysfunction, and blood in semen or urine.
