There is a version of the prostate cancer conversation that rarely happens in a clinical setting. The one where a doctor sits down with an older patient and honestly walks through what a positive PSA result is likely to mean for someone his age.

That conversation requires a physician willing to say that finding something is not always the same as finding a problem —and that acting on every finding is not always the same as practicing good medicine.

And let us be clear, we are not saying the disease should be ignored. This is about rushing to a treatment that will do more harm to you than the cancer ever would.

Prostate cancer is slow growing, and the diagnosis often sets in motion a sequence of decisions that will permanently alter a man’s life, before the cancer even gets a chance to act.

Did you know compounds found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts have been studied for their potential role in supporting healthy prostate function and promoting a healthy cellular environment within the prostate? 🥦

This is one reason broccoli powder has gained attention as a convenient add-on for long-term prostate health.

No supplement is a substitute for proper medical care, but nutrition remains one of the most powerful tools available for supporting healthy aging. Do you intentionally include broccoli, broccoli sprouts, or other cruciferous vegetables in your diet?

Studies I wish every man knew about. Part 1

ProtecT Trial, New England Journal of Medicine 2023
DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2214122

This study followed over 1,500 men with prostate cancer across three groups — surgery, radiation, and active monitoring — for 15 years. Prostate cancer-specific survival was approximately 97% in all three groups with no statistically significant difference between them.

If you're wondering:
Does surgery save lives in prostate cancer?
Is radiation better than doing nothing?
Can you monitor prostate cancer without treatment?
What do 15 years of data actually show?

This is the one you need to read first.
