When prostate cancer occurs in a man, the number of cells in the prostate becomes too overcrowded and the cells begin to multiply erratically as with any other cancerous growth. What then happens is somewhat of a chain reaction, because when this abnormal crowding of good, healthy cells in the prostate occurs, the cells then produce more PSA, which inhibits angiogenesis of its surrounding cells. Angiogenesis is the spurred growth of blood vessels, which eventually leads to a cancerous tumor.

Conventional, modern day physicians usually will use a measurement of a man’s “PSA levels” to determine that treatment course should be taken for the prostate cancer. The alarming fact which I read about this method of measurement though, is that prostate cancer patients in other countries where PSA tests are no longer used have the same or better survival rates as countries that still use these PSA tests. What does this mean?

You should really explore your options and even unconventional methods of prostate cancer treatment if you ever get it, in my humble opinion. Find out what the real statistics are for various treatments, even if it’s not what your traditional doctor recommends. Just keep an open mind.
