Prostate cancer could be cured in one week thanks to incredible new treatment

It comes after Sir Rod Stewart revealed he has beaten the disease after a two-year battle



Prostate cancer patients could be cured in as little as a week with new high-dose targeted radiotherapy. In trials, tumours were wiped out within days with treatment times slashed from the standard one to two months.

The breakthrough could save the NHS millions. It comes after Sir Rod Stewart revealed he has beaten the disease. One patient who took part in trials said: “It was a breeze – not something I’dusually associate with cancer treatment.” Developed by a UK team, it is the quickest form of the therapy to get this far in clinical trials.

The trial patient – named as Alfred, 84, diagnosed in 2013 – added: “I only had to go in five times over two weeks. “I didn’t have many symptoms after and was able to get back to my life.”

In trials led by the Royal Marsden Hospital in West London, patients were given extremely high doses of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) beamed with sub-millimetre precision at tumours, cutting the risk of damaging healthy surrounding tissue which can lead to side effects.

Their tumours were wiped out in one to two weeks, compared with up to two months for standard radiotherapy.

The study split 850 patients into three groups given different radiotherapy doses. Three months after treatment, side effects for those on SBRT were no worse than for standard treatment.

They will be monitored for several years to find if they are truly cured.

If continuing trials show humans can tolerate such high doses of radiation then SBRT could be offered on the NHS.

Great news. My dad was recently diagnosed with it.

The Link Between Sex and Prostate Cancer

New research supporting this notion is now attracting a lot of attention: Analyzing questionnaires from more than 3,200 men, Canadian scientists found that men who have sex with more than 20 women — rather than just one partner over a lifetime — is linked with a 28 percent drop in the odds of one day being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The study — the first suggesting the number of female partners is inversely linked to prostate cancer risk — was published online on Sept. 29 in the journal Cancer Epidemiology. The research also suggested that men who said they'd never had sexual intercourse were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as those who weren't virgins. Men who had slept with more than 20 women were not only markedly less likely to get any type of prostate cancer, but experienced a 19 percent reduction in diagnoses with aggressive types of prostate cancer. Of the men surveyed, about half had been diagnosed with prostate cancer between September 2005 and August 2009, while the other half were part of a healthy control group.

The study results simply reinforce studies from 2003 and 2004 suggesting that frequent ejaculation, whether with one partner or many, can protect against prostate cancer.

A study published earlier this year strongly indicated that when men don't ejaculate often, inflammatory cells can gather in the seminal vesicles adjacent to the prostate gland, which over time might lead to cancer.

Ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer
The scientists found no evidence that frequent ejaculations mark an increased risk of prostate cancer. In fact, the reverse was true: High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. And the results held up to rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors and the frequency of PSA testing were taken into account.

But according to the article/Canadians, you will need at least 20 different types too.

How would you like to be in THAT double blind study ?! Half the participants were given healthy diet and exercise regimen. The other half were given unlimited porn and asked to mastubate.

"Given" and "asked?" Now, that is some kind of inexpensive "SAFE sex."

Two thumbs up! I have two friends (my age) receiving radiation treatments for PC. Both have seen positive results, but this breakthrough sounds really encouraging. I've been taking 4 Saw Palmetto tablets (450 mg) per day for nearly 20 years and my PSA has never been above 2.0 upon yearly exams. I've been very fortunate, thus far.

I might ad. I don't know if the dosage of Saw Palmetto is responsible for my good results, but it was suggested from a friend in the medical field many years ago that it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try. Who knows?

That's a badass scanner. It's not a ciberknife that I've seen.

Regardless, in Rod's case, the first cut was the deepest...



and it worked.
