Treatment Choices If a person is told that he has cancer, even if it is a small slow growing one, it may cause a lot of worry and stress. He may insist on having it removed. Or his doctor may urge him or recommend that it be removed or treated. The doctor may be overly cautious and might worry that he could be sued later if the cancer proves dangerous and kills the man. Or the doctor may need to pay some bills. You may not believe this but there are a few unethica1 doctors who don't hesitate to do operations that may not be absolutely necessary.

How Cancer May Start ?

How Cancer May Start ? Our bodies are made up of several hundred trillion separate individual living cells. (A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000). Most of the cells are so small that thousands of them could fit in the space occupied by the period at the end of this sentence. Examples of cells are the skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells and others. These various cells form tissues, glands, organs and systems. Each cell, gland and organ has a purpose and a function. They all work together to form a complete system that sustains us and keeps us alive. All of these different cells are derived from the first complete cell that was formed from the sperm and the ovum. The sperm and the ovum each contributed 23 chromosomes to make the complete cell with 46 chromosomes. Each of the cells in our bodies, whether prostate, liver or lung each have copies of the original 46 chromosomes. Occasionally some of the cells wear out, are damaged, or for some reason die off.

Until we fully understand the causes of cancer, it is difficult to completely prevent it. That is especially so for prostate cancer. A dietary study of 47,000 men over a six year period, done at Harvard, was published in the Dec. 1995 Journal of the National Institute. It showed that men who eat at least ten servings a week of tomatoes or tomato based foods such as pizza and spaghetti sauce were 45% less likely to develop prostate cancer. According to this study, most Italian men should have less prostate cancer. Some studies have linked high animal fats to breast and prostate cancer. Testosterone levels may also be suspect in the cause of prostate cancer. The oriental men usually have a fairly low level compared to Caucasians. Black men usually have a very high level.
