Issue Number 11 – Prostate Cancer & Diet
In this issue of Prostate Forum Dr. Myers discusses various supplement and foods that may have implications for your prostate cancer treatment. For example, while pomegranate fruit, juice or extract may slow prostate cancer progression, you should let your physician know if you're taking supplements or extract because it may also block CYP3A4. Dr. Myers also includes an alert about indole-3-carbinol and estradiol interactions and explains why those of you on estradiol shouldn't eat large amounts of cabbage or related veggies. This discussion is followed by an update on lycopene for prostate cancer and a warning for those of you on Dostinex (or cabergoline). Finally, we include an excerpt from Dr. Snuffy Myers' new book, Beating Prostate Cancer.

Issue Number 9 – Relapse Following Radical Prostatectomy, I
With PSA screening becoming widespread, an increasing proportion of men are being diagnosed when their cancer appears to be confined to their prostate gland. While radiation therapy has made great strides in its accuracy and efficacy, a majority of patients still choose radical prostatectomy as their first treatment choice. However, like most medical procedures, the radical prostatectomy is not always successful and as a result, as the number of men receiving radical prostatectomy increases, so does the number of men whose cancers come back after surgery. In this issue Dr. Myers discusses two approaches to recurrence after surgery: doing nothing until the cancer reoccurs or adopting a Mediterranean diet proven to slow cancer growth.
