Men who eat a diet low in fat and red meat but
high in vegetables and lean protein and who
drink alcohol in moderation may not just be

Encourage Diet and Lifestyle Interventions in
Low-Risk Prostate Cancer
Medscape Medical News, Sept. 10, 2007, by Zosia
Chustecka
Men with low-risk prostate cancer who opt for
active surveillance should be encouraged to make
dietary and lifestyle changes that improve their
overall quality of life, such as reducing
calories and exercising, said Stephen Freedland,
MD, from Duke University Medical School, in
Durham, North Carolina. "Many patients are
uncomfortable about doing 'nothing' for their
cancers," he said, and making diet and lifestyle
modifications allows patients to take an active
role in their management and gain some sense of
control.
Lifestyle changes and prostate cancer
Men's Health News, Published: Sunday, 1-Jul-2007
Up to 73% of men with prostate cancer take
nonprescription supplements, and smaller numbers
use diet, exercise, or both in the hope of
improving their outcome. Most of these men also
receive conventional therapy, but a few depend
on lifestyle alone. The appeal of lifestyle
therapy is obvious-but does it work. Experts
don't know, though research raises hope that it
may have a beneficial impact, reports the July
2007 issue of Harvard Men's Health Watch .

Waist
Size Predicts Pelvic Dysfunction, Metabolic
Syndrome in Older Men.
Reuters Health — May 22, 2007 — By Megan
Rauscher
Increasing waist
circumference in older men is associated with
worsening lower urinary tract symptoms and
sexual function, and increasing risk of
components of the metabolic syndrome, according
to research presented Monday at the American
Urological Association meeting in Anaheim.
At a press briefing, Dr. Steven A. Kaplan from
Weill Cornell Medical College, New York said:
"We know that there is an increasing
relationship between components of the metabolic
syndrome and male pelvic health and it is
becoming very clear that when you have multiple
components of the metabolic syndrome you can bet
that you will have components of pelvic
dysfunction, which we would define as sexual
dysfunction and voiding dysfunction." Regular
exercise associated with reduced risk of benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Protection against heart disease, stroke,
diabetes, obesity, hypertension, memory loss,
colon cancer, fractures, and depression should
be enough to get men exercising. But those who
need extra motivation should consider the added
benefits to their prostates and sexuality,

Health Watch.
Graveyard shift work linked to prostate cancer
American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 164, No.
6:549-555
by Tatsuhiko Kubo, Kotaro Ozasa, et al
For those of you
that like to view the technical details, this is
the full text of a groundbreaking report linking
night-shift work and various cancers, including
prostate cancer.
The report
concludes: This prospective cohort study
revealed a significant association between
rotating-shift work and prostate cancer
incidence among Japanese male workers. Because
this is the first time that this risk factor has
been known to be identified, the association
needs to be replicated and confirmed in other
settings.
