Receptor Blockers

(or cabergoline) for prostate cancer patients. This is followed by an in-depth
discussion of the so-called "Vitamin to treat Prostate Cancer," Ansentar
by Novacea. Later in the issue, Dr. Myers discusses the American Cancer Society’s

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. |

Number 8 – Baby Boomers & Gen X-ers With
Prostate Cancer, II
In this issue Dr. Myers continues his discussion of issues facing younger men
with prostate cancer. A thorough explanation of staging for determining how far
your cancer has spread is followed by analyses of micrometastic disease after
radiation or surgery, preventing relapse and watchful waiting. |

Issue
Number 7 – Baby Boomers & Gen X-ers With
Prostate Cancer, I
In the last few years, Dr. Myers has seen a steady increase in the number of
men with prostate cancer between ages 40 and 55 at his clinic, American Institute
for Diseases Of The Prostate. Young men with prostate cancer have a very different
set of problems than do older men, which Dr. Myers explores in this issue. Topics
like early detection, metastatic disease in younger men, complete remission,
and
choosing a treatment
are included. |

Issue

exploration of second line hormonal therapy, including analyses of Ketoconazol,
Estrogen, Sandostatin, Leukine, and Combination Therapy. |

Issue
Number 5 – Hormone Resistance, I
It is an unfortunate fact that in some circles, just like Rodney Dangerfield,
hormonal therapy gets no respect. However, the clinical trials show that hormonal
therapy can be an extremely effective treatment for prostate cancer at various
disease stages. In this issue of Prostate Forum, Dr. Myers discusses common myths
about hormonal therapy, how cancer cells adapt to low testosterone levels, what
to do after lupron fails, and intermittent hormonal therapy. |
