The prostate warped around a tube (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 prostate gland is considered a reproductive organ in men.
Prostate cancer is a medical condition caused by cell growth disorderly in the prostate tissue due to the alternation of DNA.
At the advanced stage, the cancerous cell in the prostate can spread to a distance away to inject other healthy tissue and organ, leading to secondary metastasis through lymph and blood.
Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during physical (rectum) exams.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, approximately 174,650 cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2019. Prostate cancer will cause the death of 31620 Americans.
The exact causes of prostate cancer are not known. However, epidemiologically, below are some of the most prevalent factors associated with prostate cancer risk
*Age
The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with the age of over 45
* Family history
Statistics showed that if one of your directed family members has prostate cancer, you are twice at risk to develop it as well.
*Race
Prostate cancer is more likely to strike black and white or Hispanic men in the US.
* Heredity
The certain gene mutation is associated with promoting prostate cancer growth, including hereditary prostate cancer gene 1 (HPC1), transmembrane protease, serine 2-ERG or transmembrane protease, serine 2-ETV1/4, etc.
Researchers found that up to 70 percent of men with prostate cancer have lost one copy of the Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene at the time of diagnosis. The tumor protein 53
(p53) mutations are a late event in the pathology of prostate cancer.
* Low levels of vitamin D in the blood
Researchers found that men with a deficiency of level of vitamin D in the blood are at higher risk to develop prostate cancer.
* Excessive drinking
Excessive drinking not only increases the risk of liver cancer but is also associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer as it interferes with folate metabolism. The risk of prostate cancer is much high for men with excessive drinking habits and folate deficiency.
* Enlarged prostate
Men with an enlarged prostate are at high risk of developing prostate cancer.
* Sexual transmission diseases
Infected diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis are associated with a higher risk of infections.
*Obesity
In a study of Obesity May Raise Risk of Prostate Cancer Spread, Christopher J. Keto, MD, a urological oncology postdoctoral associate at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. found that overweight men were three times more likely to have their cancer spread.
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belongings to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild, or sweet.
To find a potential compound for the promotion of prostate health, researchers examined the effect of onion on prostate cancer in vivo and in vitro.
According to a population-based case-control study in Shanghai, Hsing et. al. participants in the highest of 3 intake categories of total Allium vegetables, including onion showed a significant effect in reducing the risk of prostate cancer with the relative odds ratio risk of .53 compared to those with the lowest intake.
In the Italian and Swiss case-control networks study, researchers surprisingly showed that participants with the highest intake of both onions do not have significantly decreased OR of prostate cancer compared to those with the lowest intake, However, according to the differentiation, there was evidence of a trend of decreased odds with increasing intake.
In other words, over time, increased intake of onion may have significant activity in reducing prostate cancer risk.
The results strongly suggested, over time, regular consumption may decrease the risk of prostate cancer, depending on the amount of onion intake daily.
Taken altogether, onion used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of adjuvant rheumatic diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
