Broccoli Protects the Prostate Gland Cells Against the Risk of Prostate Cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

The prostate warped around the urethra is a gland of the male reproductive system found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder and responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.

The muscle of the prostate gland also plays a critical in nourishing and protecting sperm by secreting fluid in perm ejaculation into the urethra.

Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition caused by cell growth irregular in the prostate gland. Most cases of prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the Physical (rectum) exams.

Most cases of prostate cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue before penetrating into deeper layers to induce colonization.

At the advanced stage, the prostate cancer cells can spread to the distant parts of the body, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men particularly in older over 65, after skin cancer. In 2019, approximately 174,650 men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The average age of diagnosis is 66.

The 5 years survival rate of localized prostate cancer is 100% and 98% of that of survivors are alive after 10 years compared to the advanced stage of only 31%.

A most common risk factor is the increase of age as more than 80% of prostate cancers diagnosed in men who are 65 or older. The average age of diagnosis is 66.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential wholefood for the treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effect of Sulforaphane (SFN) is a metabolic by-product of broccoli against prostate cancer.

SFN and other notable isothiocyanates, including phenethyl isothiocyanate and benzyl isothiocyanate found in various cruciferous vegetables, also demonstrated a significantly chemopreventive role for the treatment of breast, colon and prostate cancer.

According to the experient, SFN showed a strong chemopreventive and antineoplastic activity against prostate cancer.

In other words, SFN used alone or a combination of other phytochemicals found in broccoli may be a promising chemopreventive nutraceutical in the context of mechanisms of prostate carcinogenesis.

Taken altogether, broccoli processed high amounts of SFN and phenethyl isothiocyanate and benzyl isothiocyanatemay be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

  1. You write, "Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity"
    Is the liver toxicity of tumeric due to its oxalate content? If so, would the purified curcumin active compound from tumeric be a safer choice since it contains no oxalate?
