Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 In past years folks suggested DIM 4/day for men to prevent this. 1) Is this still a recommendation, esp. in obese men? 2) Once one has this cancer, is it contraindicated or of use? James Schaller, MD www.personalconsult.com - Jerry Mittelman aalternative medicine forum Tuesday, September 26, 2006 12:49 PM prostate treatment A treatment mainstay for prostate cancer puts men at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to a large observational study published in the Sept. 20 Journal of Clinical Oncology. " Men with prostate cancer have high five-year survival rates, but they also have higher rates of non-cancer mortality than healthy men, " says study author Nancy Keating, MD, MPH, assistant professor of health care policy and of medicine at Harvard Medical School. " This study shows that a common hormonal treatment for prostate cancer may put men at significant risk for other serious diseases. Patients and physicians need to be aware of the elevated risk as they make treatment decisions. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
