The United States, Canada, countries of Western Europe, and Australia specifically Sweden but excluding Italy and Greece, are the countries with the highest incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of prostate cancer in the world. These countries are considered high-risk countries. Countries in Asia, particularly Japan, are considered low-risk countries. Researchers attribute prostate cancer risk based on location to three factors: UV light, testing prevalence, and traditional diet.
2 :
Science has a hard time with one aspect of the above answer. That is the extent to which testing for this problem is sought. Third world countries often don't screen for this. More screening means more detection.

No. If you decide to take anything like that be sure that your medical doctor knows, in case of interactions.

No, I do not think they will. I had prostate cancer and had proton radiation .. It has no side effects and a 90% cure rate.. I am fine now... It was like I was never sick.. If you would like to know more about it there is a website called PROTON BOB.. It is a really good website.. If you go there be sure and read the Patient Testimonial Section.. You will find that any one who has ever had Prostate Cancer and was treated with Proton Radiation is as sold on it as I am..

No, there is no hard proof that they can cure cancer. I'd strong recommend sticking to mainstream treatments. If you'd like to take Herbal / Ayurvedic treatments, I'd suggest doing it only as a complement to mainstream treatments. There's some info on alternative treatments for cancer at http://www.cancerdoubts.com

Very simply question to answer. Just continue with what you are suppose to do. If you can conceive, then he is OK. The best and sure way is to have a doctor check on his sperm count,

Of course.... The prostate cancer may affect the transmission of sperm from the testes to the urethral meatus but the production of sperm itself won't
3 :
ask his doctor.

Prostate cancer doesn't usually affect fertility however, the treatment sometimes can. If it was just surgery, he should be okay. If you're having trouble conceiving, make an appointment with a Urologist to get a work up for fertility. If he comes back normal, make an appointment for yourself to get checked out.
