Epub 2017 Jul 27. PMID: 28749619 Abstract Title:  Healthy Plant Foods Intake Could Protect Against Prostate Cancer Risk: A Case-Control Study Abstract:  Background: Several studies have investigated the association between healthy plant foods intake and prostate cancer risk with inconsistent results. So this study was conducted to examine the existence of any possible association between healthy plant foods and prostate cancer risk. Materials and Methods: Sixty newly diagnosed prostate cancer cases and 60 controls engaged in a hospital-based case-control study. A validated 16o-items semi-quantitative FFQ was used to assess usual dietary intakes. Energy-adjusted amounts of healthy plant foods intake were calculated using the residual method. Logistic regression model was also used to derive beta estimates and odds ratios. Results: Cases were older and more likely to be inactive. In crude model, individuals in the highest tertile vs lowest tertile of total healthy plant foods (OR= 0.12; 95 % CI 0.04, 0.34), total fruits (OR= 0.11; 95 % CI 0.04, 0.30), total vegetables (OR= 0.08; 95 % CI 0.03, 0.24), fresh fruits (OR= 0.11; 95 % CI 0.04, 0.30), and raw vegetables (OR= 0.06; 95 % CI 0.02, 0.18) had significantly lower risk of prostate cancer. After controlling for potential confounders (age, BMI, total energy intake, job, education, smoking, physical activity, some drug usage, and also dietary intakes), just total healthy plant foods (OR= 0.12; 95 % CI 0.02, 0.55), total vegetables (OR=0.03; 95 % CI 0.00, 0.25), and raw vegetables (OR= 0.01; 95 % CI 0.00, 0.12) were associated with lower prostate cancer risk. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that a diet rich in healthy plant foods and especially total or raw vegetable may protect against prostate cancer. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/diet-rich-healthy-plant-foods-and-especially-total-or-raw-vegetable-may-protec#comments Prostate Cancer Chemopreventive Chemopreventive prostate cancer Human Study Wed, 02 Aug 2017 20:06:17 +0000 greenmedinfo 151143 at https://greenmedinfo.com An extract of Litchi seed has potential for development into a safe and potent alternative therapy for prostate cancer patients. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/extract-litchi-seed-has-potential-development-safe-and-potent-alternative-ther n/a PMID:  Sci Rep. 2017 Jan 30 ;7:41656. Epub 2017 Jan 30. PMID: 28134352 Abstract Title:  Litchi seed extracts diminish prostate cancer progression via induction of apoptosis and attenuation of EMT through Akt/GSK-3β signaling. Abstract:  Litchi (Litchi chinensisSonnnerat, Sapindaceae), known as Chinese Cherry, is a subtropical fruit tree originating from southern China. Litchi seed extracts have diverse pharmacological effects, including anticancer. However, its anticancer effects and mechanisms on prostate cancer have not been determined. In this study, we used n-butyl alcohol extract of Litchi seed (NLS) to treat prostate cancer PC3, DU145, RM1 and C4-2B cells. NLS induced a significant decrease in cell viability and clonogenic growth in a dose-dependent manner. NLS induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle G1/S phase arrest by inactivating Akt signaling pathway, which were associated with activation of mitochondrial caspase-dependent apoptotic cascades, up-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p21 and p27, and inhibition of correlated cyclin/CDK network. In addition, NLS treatment significantly decreased cell migration and invasion via phenotypic inversion of EMT, correlated with increased expression of E-cadherin andβ-catenin, and decreased expression of vimentin and snail, which is partially attributed to inhibiting Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Finally, PC3 xenograft nude mice treated with NLS in vivo showed a significant decrease in tumor size without toxicity. These findings suggest that NLS has potentialfor development into a safe and potent alternative therapy for prostate cancer patients. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/extract-litchi-seed-has-potential-development-safe-and-potent-alternative-ther#comments Litchi Prostate Cancer Anti-metastatic Apoptotic Cell cycle arrest P21 Activation Anti-metastatic Apoptotic Cell cycle arrest Litchi P21 Activation Plant Extracts prostate cancer Animal Study In Vitro Study Tue, 31 Jan 2017 16:42:51 +0000 greenmedinfo 142799 at https://greenmedinfo.com Argan Oil: A Moisturizer So Pure You Could Drink It https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2013<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/ken@sinfullywholesome.com/images/argan%20oil%20mosturizer%20pure%20for%20drinking.jpg" style="width: 625px; height: 425px;" /><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-30daf4e6-3a77-31ce-f5f8-57e6369fd3db"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Argania Spinosa</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> - </span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The botanical name of the Argan Tree which is endemic to Morocco.</span></span></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it#comments Argan Oil Atherosclerosis Cancer: Prostate Cardiovascular Disease Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2: Prevention Hyperlipidemia Malaria Melanoma Postmenopausal Complications Skin Cancer Thrombus Anti-Inflammatory Agents Anti-Proliferative Bowel/Colon Health Cancer Cold and Flu Food Freedom Food Philosophy For Goodness Sake GMOs Health Guide: Aging Health Guide: Breast Cancer Health Guide: Herbs and Traditional Knowledge Health Guide: Medicinal Spices Health Guide: Mental Health Health Guide: Obesity and Dieting Health Guide: Statin Drugs Health Guides: Healing Foods Heart Health Infant and Children's Heatlh Men's Health Women's Health Acne Antiaging Antioxidant Antioxidants Argan.

Epub 2017 Jun 19. PMID: 28628644 Abstract Title:  Targeting multiple pro-apoptotic signaling pathways with curcumin in prostate cancer cells. Abstract:  Curcumin, an extract from the turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa), is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, chemopreventive and antitumoral activities against aggressive and recurrent cancers. Accumulative data indicate that curcumin may induce cancer cell death. However, the detailed mechanism underlying its pro-apoptotic and anti-cancer effects remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined the signaling pathways triggered by curcumin, specifically, the exact molecular mechanisms of curcumin-induced apoptosis in highly metastatic human prostate cancer cells. The effect of curcumin was evaluated using for the first time in prostate cancer, a gel-free shotgun quantitative proteomic analysis coupled with Tandem Mass Tag isobaric labeling-based-signaling networks. Results were confirmed at the gene expression level by qRT-PCR and at the protein expression level by western blot and flow cytometry. Our findings revealed that curcumin induced an Endoplasmic Reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis in PC3. The mechanisms by which curcumin promoted cell death in these cells were associated with cell cycle arrest, increased reactive oxygen species, autophagy and the Unfolded Protein Response. Furthermore, the upregulation of ER stress was measured using key indicators of ER stress: Glucose-Regulated Protein 78, Inositol-Requiring Enzyme 1 alpha, Protein Disulfide isomerase and Calreticulin. Chronic ER stress induction was concomitant with the upregulation of pro-apoptotic markers (caspases 3,9,12) and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. The downregulated proteins include anti-apoptotic and anti-tumor markers, supporting their curcumin-induced pro-apoptotic role in prostate cancer cells. Taken together, these data suggest that curcumin may serve as a promising anticancer agent by inducing a chronic ER stress mediated cell death and activation of cell cycle arrest, UPR, autophagy and oxidative stress responses. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/curcumin-may-serve-promising-anticancer-agent-inducing-chronic-er-stress-media#comments Curcumin Prostate Cancer Apoptotic Apoptotic CURCUMIN prostate cancer In Vitro Study Sat, 24 Jun 2017 01:42:59 +0000 greenmedinfo 149575 at https://greenmedinfo.com Diet and BPA appear to modulate the activation of the AR pathway and thereby optimize tumor establishment in the gerbil prostate. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/diet-and-bpa-appear-modulate-activation-ar-pathway-and-thereby-optimize-tumor- n/a PMID:  Prostate. 2018 Feb ;78(2):152-163. Epub 2017 Nov 17. PMID: 29148069 Abstract Title:  Long-term oral exposure to safe dose of bisphenol A in association with high-fat diet stimulate the prostatic lesions in a rodent model for prostate cancer. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that exposure to environmental chemicals known as endocrine disruptors can cause permanent changes in genital organs, such as the prostate. Among these environmental chemicals stands out bisphenol A (BPA). Another factor associated with prostate changes is the consumption of a high-fat diet. Although the relationship between the consumption of a high-fat diet and an increased risk of prostate cancer is well established, the mechanisms that lead to the establishment of this disease are not completely understood, nor the simultaneous action of BPA and high-fat diet. METHODS: Adult gerbils (100 days old) were divided in four groups (n = 6 per group): Control (C): animals that received a control diet and filtered water; Diet (D): animals that received a high-fat diet and filtered water; BPA: animals that received a control diet and BPA - 50 µg kg-1 day-1 in drinking water; BPA + Diet (BPA + D): animals that received a high-fat diet + BPA - 50 µg kg-1 day-1 in drinking water. After the experimental period (6 months), the dorsolateral and ventral prostate lobes were removed, and analyzed by several methods. RESULTS: Histological analysis indicated premalignant and malignant lesions in both prostatic lobes. However, animals of the D, BPA, and BPA + D groups showed a higher incidence and larger number of prostatic lesions; inflammatory foci were also common. Markers to assess prostate lesions, such as increased activation of the DNA repair system (PCNA-positive cells), androgen receptor (AR), and number of basal cells, confirmed the histology. However, serum levels of testosterone did not change under the experimental conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that the methodology used was effective in generating metabolic changes, which directly compromised prostatic homeostasis. Diet and BPA appear to modulate the activation of the AR pathway and thereby optimize tumor establishment in the gerbil prostate. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/diet-and-bpa-appear-modulate-activation-ar-pathway-and-thereby-optimize-tumor-#comments Bisphenol Toxicity Prostate Cancer Bisphenol A Bisphenol A Bisphenol Toxicity Increased Risk prostate cancer In Vitro Study Wed, 31 Jan 2018 04:35:36 +0000 greenmedinfo 159037 at https://greenmedinfo.com Does Cancer Screening Save Lives?

Epub 2017 Aug 22. PMID: 28842246 Abstract Title:  Mediterranean dietary pattern is associated to low risk of aggressive prostate cancer: MCC-Spain study. Abstract:  PURPOSE: To explore the association of the previously described Western, Prudent and Mediterranean dietary patterns with prostate cancer risk by tumor aggressiveness and extension. METHODS: MCC-Spain is a population-based multicase-control study, carried out in 7 Spanish provinces between September 2008 and December 2013. It collected anthropometric, epidemiologic and dietary information on 754 histologically confirmed incident cases of prostate cancer and 1277 controls aged 38 to 85 years. Three previously identified dietary patterns -Western, Prudent and Mediterranean- were reconstructed using MCC-Spain data. The association between each pattern and prostate cancer risk was assessed using logistic regression models with random province-specific intercepts. Risk according to tumor aggressiveness (Gleason score grade =6 vs&gt;6) and extension (cT1-cT2a vs cT2b-cT4) was evaluated with multinomial regression models. RESULTS: High adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern -rich in fruits and vegetables, but also in fish, legumes and olive oil- was specifically associated to lower risk of prostate cancer with Gleason score&gt;6: RRRQuartile3(Q3)vsQuartile1(Q1)=0.66; 95%CI:0.46-0.96 and RRRQuartile4(Q4)vsQuartile1=0.68;95%CI:0.46-1.01;p-trend=0.023) or with higher clinical stage (cT2b-T4: RRRQuartile4vsQuartile1=0.49; 95%CI:0.25-0.96; p-trend=0.024). This association was not observed with Prudent pattern, which combines vegetables and fruits with low fat dairy products, whole grains and juices. Western pattern did not show any association with prostate cancer risk. CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional recommendations for prostate cancer prevention should consider whole dietary patterns instead of individual foods. We found important differences between Mediterranean dietary pattern, which was associated to lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and Western and Prudent dietary patterns, that had no relationship with prostate cancer risk. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/mediterranean-dietary-pattern-associated-low-risk-aggressive-prostate-cancer#comments Prostate Cancer Chemopreventive Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet Chemopreventive Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet prostate cancer Risk Reduction Human Study Tue, 05 Sep 2017 17:45:11 +0000 greenmedinfo 152747 at https://greenmedinfo.com Millions Wrongly Treated for 'Cancer,' National Cancer Institute Panel Confirms https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/millions-wrongly-treated-cancer-national-cancer-institute-panel-confirms <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2019<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Millions Wrongly Treated for 'Cancer,' National Cancer Institute Panel Confirms" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/Sayer Ji/images/Screen%20Shot%202013-07-31%20at%2011_14_15%20AM.png" style="border-width: 2px; border-style: solid;" title="Millions Wrongly Treated for 'Cancer,' National Cancer Institute Panel Confirms" /></p> <p><em><strong>A devastating new report commissioned by the National Cancer Institute reveals that our 40-year long 'War on Cancer' has been waged against a vastly misunderstood 'enemy,' that</strong></em><em><strong> in many cases represented no threat to human health whatsoever.</strong></em></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/millions-wrongly-treated-cancer-national-cancer-institute-panel-confirms" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/millions-wrongly-treated-cancer-national-cancer-institute-panel-confirms#comments Breast Cancer: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Prostate Cancer Cancer Health Guide: Breast Cancer Overdiagnosis X-ray Diagnostic Technologies X-ray Mammography X-ray Mammography: Digital Breast Cancer: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ cancer overdiagnosis Iatrogenic Disease NCI definition of cancer prostate cancer what is cancer?

PMID: 28023432 Abstract Title:  A phase II study of pomegranate extract for men with rising prostate-specific antigen following primary therapy. Abstract:  : 4522^ Background: Pomegranate extract (POMx) demonstrates antitumor effects through antioxidants in prostate cancer (PCA). Prior work reveals an increase in PSA doubling time (PSADT) in a single arm study of pomegranate juice (POM) in PCA patients (pts) with a rising PSA after local therapy. We sought to determine the effects of 1 gram or 3 grams daily POMx on PSADT in a similar but more inclusive population of men seeking to defer androgen deprivation therapy. METHODS: This multi-center, double bind phase II, dose-exploring trial randomized men with a rising PSA and without metastases to receive 1 gram or 3 grams of POMx, stratified by baseline PSADT and Gleason score, and with no restrictions for PSADT and no upper limit PSA value. Men were treated until progression or for 18 months. PSA levels were obtained every 3 months. This study was designed to detect a 6 month on study increase in PSADT from baseline on each arm. RESULTS: 104 patients were enrolled and treated for up to 6 (92%), 12 (70%) and 18 months (36%). Median PSADT lengthened in the Intent to treat population (96% white, median age 74.5 years, median gleason score 7) from baseline 11.9 (range 1.6-54.6) compared to 18.5 (2-1523) months after treatment (p&lt;.001).There was no significant treatment difference on PSADT between the dose groups (p=.920). Forty-three percent (41/95) of men had a post-treatment PSADT of more than 200% of baseline PSADT and no new metastases. Declining PSA levels were observed in 13 pts (13%) during the study. No significant changes occurred in testosterone in either group. Although no clinically significant toxicities were seen, mild to moderate diarrhea was seen in 8 percent of patients. CONCLUSIONS: POMx treatment significantly increased the PSADT by over 6 months in both treatment arms, with no effect on testosterone. This IND-conducted study confirms slowing of PSADT with POMx as was found with POM, yet in a more inclusive PCA patient population. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/pomx-treatment-significantly-increased-psa-doubling-time-over-6-months-both-tr#comments Pomegranate Prostate Cancer Cancer Plant Extracts pomegranate POMx prostate cancer Human Study Mon, 02 Jan 2017 18:01:15 +0000 greenmedinfo 141286 at https://greenmedinfo.com Similar to BPA, chronic treatment of cells with DMBPA resulted in enhancement of anchorage-independent growth. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/similar-bpa-chronic-treatment-cells-dmbpa-resulted-enhancement-anchorage-indep n/a PMID:  Endocr Relat Cancer. 2016 Dec 20. Epub 2016 Dec 20. PMID: 27998958 Abstract Title:  Bisphenol A and its analogues disrupt centrosome cycle and microtubule dynamics in prostate cancer. Abstract:  Humans are increasingly exposed to structural analogues of bisphenol A (BPA), as BPA is being replaced by these compounds in BPA-free consumer products. We have previously shown that chronic and developmental exposure to BPA is associated with increased prostate cancer (PCa) risk in human and animal models. Here we examine whether exposure of PCa cells (LNCaP, C4-2) to low-dose BPA and its structural analogues (BPS, BPF, BPAF, TBBPA, DMBPA and TMBPA) affects centrosome amplification (CA), a hallmark of cancer initiation and progression. We found that exposure to BPA, BPS, DMBPA and TBBPA in descending order, increased number of cells with CA, in a non-monotonic dose-response manner. Furthermore, cells treated with BPA and these analogues initiated centrosome duplication at 8h post-release from serum-starvation, significantly earlier in G-1 phase than control cells. This response was attended by earlier release of nucleophosmin from unduplicated centrosomes. BPA exposed cells exhibited increased expression of cyclin dependent kinase CDK6, and decreased expression of CDK inhibitors (p21Waf1/CIP1, p27KIP1). Using specific antagonists for estrogen/androgen receptors, CA in presence of BPA or its analogues was likely to be mediated via ESR1 signaling. Change in microtubule dynamics was observed on exposure to these analogues, which, for BPA, was accompanied by increased expression of centrosome-associated protein CEP350. Similar to BPA, chronic treatment of cells with DMBPA, but not other analogues, resulted in enhancement of anchorage-independent growth. We thus conclude that selected BPA analogues, similar to BPA, disrupt centrosome function and microtubule organization, with DMBPA displaying the broadest spectrum of cancer-promoting effects. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/similar-bpa-chronic-treatment-cells-dmbpa-resulted-enhancement-anchorage-indep#comments Bisphenol Toxicity Prostate Cancer Bisphenol A Bisphenol A Bisphenol Toxicity BPA prostate cancer Risk Factors In Vitro Study Thu, 22 Dec 2016 18:54:41 +0000 greenmedinfo 140850 at https://greenmedinfo.com The Cannabis Solution For Cancer https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/cannabis-cure-cancer <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2020<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/Sayer Ji/images/MedicalCannabissafterThanOpioidsforChronicPain.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 315px;" /><br /> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Article Originally Published on <a href="https://drsircus.com/medical-marijuana/cannabis-cures-cancer/" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">www.drsircus.com</a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>This quick overview of the science backs up the assertion that every cancer patient and every oncologist should put medical marijuana on their treatment maps</strong></em></span></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/cannabis-cure-cancer" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/cannabis-cure-cancer#comments Breast Cancer Cancer Cannabidiol Cannabis Lung Cancer Ovarian Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Prostate Cancer Chemotherapy Health Guide: Herbs and Traditional Knowledge Antitumor Breast Cancer Cannabidiol Cannabis Chemotherapy leukemia lung cancer Medical Marijuana ovarian cancer Pancreatic Cancer prostate cancer Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:12:59 +0000 drsircus 114883 at https://greenmedinfo.com
