The recent research of Dr. Pier Paolo Pandolfi and team shed a light on the role of dietary fat complex with genetic factor in promoting the spread (metastasis) of prostate cancer.

The prostate is a gland present in the male reproductive system which produces seminal fluid. It lies in front of the rectum, the lower part of the intestine and just below the bladder, the organ that collects and empties urine. It is about a walnut size and surrounds upper part of urethra, the tube that empties urine from the bladder.

Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer among men and the second leading cause of death from cancer in men.

To confirm the diagnosis of the prostate cancer biopsy is done by examining the tissue removed from prostate gland under the microscope. Early detection and its treatment, when it's still confined to the prostate gland, may not only improve health but also help to live longer.

Treatments for prostate cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. In addition to standard treatments, there are other approaches that patients may choose during their treatment for early recovery.
