"Prostate Cancer Is More Treatable Than Ever - If Caught Early" - Ash Tewari, MD
Options for treating prostate cancer have improved dramatically in recent years. One in seven men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, making it the most common cancer among men. Each year, more than 160,000 new cases are diagnosed. The prostate is a male gland that produces chemicals essential to sexual function and to protecting against infection. The gland is fairly small, ranging in size from a walnut to a golf ball, and it’s located at the mouth of the bladder. Ash Tewari, MBBS, MCh, professor and system chair of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said, “There are some basic steps we can all take to decrease our risk of prostate cancer. Anything you can do to reduce inflammation levels will help. That includes cutting down on red meat, animal fats, and sugar, as well as increasing your intake of blueberries and mushrooms.” In general, being less anxious and exercising more can keep inflammation in check.
