Let’s first understand what prostate is and who does it effect and target. Symptoms and possible known cures. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It is located in front of the rectum and below the urinary bladder. The size of the prostate varies with age. In younger men, it is about the size of a walnut, but it can be much larger in older men. The prostate's job is to make some of the fluid that protects and nourishes sperm cells in semen, making the semen more liquid. Just behind the prostate are glands called seminal vesicles that make most of the fluid for semen. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis, goes through the center of the prostate.
Depending on the situation, the treatment options for men with prostate cancer may include:
◾ Expectant management (watchful waiting) or active surveillance
◾ Surgery
◾ Radiation therapy
◾ Cryosurgery (cryotherapy)
◾ Hormone therapy
◾ Chemotherapy
◾ Vaccine treatment
◾ Bone directed treatment
In this article I think a lot of information was shared on the benefits of hot peppers. In a habanera pepper there is a known substance called Caspsaicin. Caspsaicin is used to not only cause the spicy effect in pepper but it also drives prostate cancer cells to kill themselves. According to studies published in March 15 issue of Cancer Research. Now according to the team of researchers from the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, pepper component caused human prostate cancer cells to unde4rgo programmed cell death or apoptosis. When an experiment was preformed amongst a few mice, the result where evident.
Caspsaicin induced approximately 80 percent of prostate cancer cells growing in mice to follow the molecule pathways leading to apoptosis. Prostate cancer tumors treated with caspsaicin were about one-fifth the size of tumors in non-related mice.
