What is the morbidity/mortality rate for prostate cancer

What is the morbidity/mortality rate for prostate cancer?

Cancer - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
In 2008, an estimated 24,700 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 4,300 will die of it. After recent advances, it's not as high as it used to be.
2 :
I have two brothers that are being treated for Prostate Cancer,both were 62 when diagnosed. One is now 73 and the other is 66 yrs of age. It periodically comes back, but they always have something to give them to combate the disease,so it isn't necessarily a death sentence.
3 :
My father lived for seven years after being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer (meaning it had already spread). Sadly, he lost his battle with cancer on January 4th.

Why does more money go to breast cancer than prostate

why does more money go to breast cancer than prostate?
why does more public money go towards curing and researching breast cancer than it does with testicular and prostate cancer even though more men die from prostate cancer (10000 a year in the UK)

Because women have been more vocal about getting the research done. Got the point? Get busy men !!
2 :
Yeah its all about how proactive people are in raising money.Women for have been very active about breast cancer research. On a side note, Breat cancer kills FAR FAR more people then prostate, which is actually a very treatable cancer.
3 :
Much cancer research is cell research and not necessarily limited to just one form of cancer. I think in N. Amer. more women die of breast cancer than men of prostate cancer and of course men get and die of breast cancer too. But it isn't just deaths that matter, age of onset is important too, and far too many young women are getting BC. I think the main reason it gets more money is that some years ago women decided to raise awareness of the problem and it became sort of trendy to do walks etc. There isn't any reason why men couldn't do the same thing for prostate and testicular cancer. Why not approach one of those sponsors who has dropped Tiger Woods?
4 :
In fact, an average of 12000 women die from breast cancer each year in the UK. I agree that awareness needs to be raised about other diseases, including other cancers, and while I hate 'competitive illness' I can see why there is resentment about an imbalance in awareness raising and fund raising. But the reason breast cancer has a consistently higher profile than other cancers is simple - sheer hard work. People who campaign around illnesses are usually concerned with the illness that's affected them or their family. I know a couple who have a child with a very rare and life-threatening condition (not a cancer). Much of their time is now taken up with campaigning around this condition - fundraising and agitating for more funding for research, more education, more awareness etc. Individuals don't have unlimited time, and choose their campaigns. Similarly, breast cancer awareness campaigns and Breast Cancer Awareness Month were started by ordinary women, most of them with breast cancer or who had lost family members to breast cancer, to raise awareness so that people knew the symptoms, examined themselves regularly, attended their routine mammograms etc. Enthusiastic participation and hard work by women made it grow into something nationally, then internationally, recognised (and then big business cashed in). There are other cancer awareness months, ribbons etc; here's a list: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_1_Cancer_Calendar.asp - but no cancer campaign has had the sheer hard work put into it that breast cancer awareness has. There are many fundraising events for other types of cancer, and the imbalance is sometimes not as great as your question suggests. For example, Cancer Research UK, the largest cancer charity in Britain, does not hold a national event specifically for breast cancer - they do hold the annual Race for Life which is exclusively for women - but this is to fundraise for cancer in general, not a specific cancer. They do, however, host a national series of runs for men only to raise funds and awareness for bowel cancer. Any group of people can start an awareness campaign for any illness - but if they want it to be as successful as the breast cancer campaigning, they'll have to be prepared to be as dedicated and work as hard. If prostate cancer is a cause close to your heart â€“ and good for you if it is â€“ you and a group of friends could start an awareness campaign; thatâ€™s where breast cancer awareness started. As someone in remission from breast cancer, I'm not actually a supporter of BC Awareness month and all the pink crap that goes along with it. I lean more towards the Think Before You Pink and Pink Stinks! campaigns, which were started by women with breast cancer too. http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/?page_id=13 But it does sometimes annoy me a little when people complain about the attention breast cancer receives in comparison to other cancers. The solution is not less attention for breast cancer, but more attention for other cancers.

There is an old saying that "use it or lose it." Some older wives of older men do not want to have sex at their age, so excuses abound. The more you exercise your prostate gland, the longer it will last. This statement is for much older men. Masturbation or sex in the future will exercise your prostate gland to continue to provide semen when you ejaculate. It is far too early for you to concern yourself with your prostate. It will be there now or when you get older to do its job. Go and have fun! Harrald
4 :
There are many health benefits. So as long as you feel like doing it, go for it.
5 :
what u only just started masturbation?? not masturbation but with it dont forget to ejaculate(duh) but it dosent matter if u dont ejaculate yes it does helps to prevent prostrate related diseases such as cancer, bacteria, prostrate enlargement etc as it is getting rid of all that semen which can get jammed just as a patrol in the car if you leave it for too long it will damage the car.
6 :
Does it prevent prostrate cancer? No. Does it lessen the odds that you'll develop prostrate cancer? Yes. Some studies have shown that frequent ejaculations, no matter how they are achieved, may reduce the odds of developing prostrate cancer. What this means is that those who ejaculate more often are less likely to develop prostrate cancer, but it does not exclude them from it.
7 :
masturbation may be prevent prostate cancer.A team in Australia led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne asked 1079 men with prostate cancer to fill in a questionnaire detailing their sexual habits, and compared their responses with those of 1259 healthy men of the same age. The team concludes that the more men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer.

What treatment to take? I have Prostate Cancer and I just found out

What treatment to take? I have Prostate Cancer and I just found out.?
The Prostate can be removed or I can have Radiation. The Cancer is localized to my prostate only. If I have Radiation and the Cancer returns they will not remove my Prostate and if I have my prostate removed and the Cancer returns I can have Radiation. I'm done reproducing as I just turned fifty four. To me it's a no brainer (survival and remove), I still want to be able to have sex with my wife though and there are risks either way. Please advise!

I understand what you saying. But you need talk your doctor about what you told us.
3 :
I agree with you. Surgical removal (radical prostatectomy) will be the "cure" as long as the post-surgical pathology shows complete encapsulation - no spread outside the prostate. Whether you "have sex" with your wife after you recover depends on how you define "having sex". It may be difficult or impossible to maintain an erection. Talk to your urologist about prosthetic implants prior to surgery. If I remember correctly, only about 20% of patients with radical prostatectomy can achieve an erection. Some respond to Viagra-type of medications, some don't. You may be able to achieve orgasm if the surgery preserved the nerves successfully. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure your surgeon is competent and well-practiced in this very delicate procedure. You seem to have a realistic outlook going into this procedure. Be sure to discuss your situation with an oncologist and radiologist as well as your urologist/surgeon before you make a final decision.

Does sex increase high chance of prostate cancer

Does sex increase high chance of prostate cancer?
there is hereditary, so what's are the other causes?
Cancer - 8 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :

1 :
perhaps, no
2 :
not at all sex is heathy , other causes may be genetic or constant pressure on ur crotch (eg. tight underwear)
3 :
No there is no scientific evidence. Healthy sex is good for health. As for causes of prostate cancer-----The risk (predisposing) factors for prostate cancer include advancing age, genetics (heredity), hormonal influences, and such environmental factors as toxins, chemicals, and industrial products. The chances of developing prostate cancer increase with age. Thus, prostate cancer under age 40 is extremely rare, while it is common in men older than 80 years of age. As a matter of fact, some studies have suggested that among men over 80, between 50 and 80% of them may have prostate cancer! Genetics (heredity), as you mentioned, plays a role in the risk of developing a prostate cancer. Environment, diet, and other unknown factors, however, can modify such genetic predispositions. For example, prostate cancer is uncommon in Japanese men living in their native Japan. However, when these men move to the United States, their incidence of prostate cancer rises significantly. Prostate cancer is also more common among family members of individuals with prostate cancer. Thus, a person whose father, grandfather, or even uncle has prostate cancer is at an increased risk for also developing prostate cancer.
4 :
<<<<<<<<<<Does sex increase high chance of prostate cancer?>>>>>>>>>> N.....O Other causes are not known.
5 :
Regular ejaculation DECREASES the chance of developing prostate cancer, according to most respectable studies...as does increasing the amount of lycopene in your diet (eat tomatoes/tomato-sauced products)...
6 :
No, more frequent ejaculation decreases prostate cancer risk. Perhaps a cause of it would be a mutation in the RNA expression of a man's 5-alpha reductase enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
7 :
no. The chance of prostate cancer develop as you get older. especially men over 40. as you get older especially over 40, your prostate gland start to enlarge. enlargement of the prostate gland is natural but cell production while growth will increase chance of malignancy cell to be form. the malignant cell is called prostate cancer. so if you are a Man over 40, i suggest you to get prostate exams at least 3 years.
8 :
No, but believing the PSA test, and then having invasive biopsies will do more harm than good. Today's ( Saturday) Sydney Morning Herald has a front page story which throws doubt on the whole prostate cancer story. Be careful about having prostate surgery, many don't need it, many have regretted having it. All the best, Nvrgvup www.friendswithcancer.com.au
