(BPH), a condition said to affect more than half of all men over
the age of 50, suggests a new study from Germany.

omega-6, could reduce the risk of prostate cancer risk in
individuals with a genetic predisposition to cancer, if results
from an animal study can be translated to humans.
Eating a diet with omega-3-rich oily fish could stop the spread of
prostate cancer, but omega-6 fatty acids appear to promote the
spread, says new research.
Research by DSM Nutritional Products provides further evidence of
the mechanism behind lycopene's protective role against prostate
cancer, giving extra support for its use in functional foods and
supplements.

After confirming that a combination of vitamin E and lycopene has a
positive effect on the growth of prostate tumours in mice,
scientists in the Netherlands have initiated a trial in men
suffering from the disease.
Scientists in Wales today suggested they have found a way to slow
down the metabolism of vitamins A and D, giving them the staying
power to help men with advanced prostrate cancer that no longer
responds to hormone therapy.

are trying to turn what is at present an unappetising watery orange
liquid into a tasty drink full of health-giving properties.
Researchers are to investigate whether a genistein-rich food,
derived from soybeans and shiitake mushrooms, could help slow or
even halt the progression of early prostate cancer.
Lycopene, the tomato-derived antioxidant thought to fight prostate
cancer, may also help to inhibit benign tumours of the uterus,
which cause painful symptoms for millions of women, say
researchers, reports Dominique Patton.
Lycopene, the carotenoid found in tomatoes, may reduce the risk of
prostate cancer by inhibiting the male hormone's effect on the
prostate, report researchers from DSM this week, writes
Dominique Patton.
A little-known molecule created in the intestine when soy is
digested is a powerful blocker of a potent male hormone involved in
prostate cancer and male pattern baldness, shows a new animal
study.

hopes for the vitamin after disappointing recent studies, writes
Dominique Patton.
Oil from the seeds of an Asian plant, already shown to fight
leukaemia, also appears to kill prostate cancer cells and shrink
human tumours grown in mice, report US researchers. Human trials
could provide a promising treatment for...

fight their disease and live longer, according to researchers who
showed that a diet low in polyunsaturated fats slowed cancer growth
and increased survival times...
