Obesity Linked to Prostate Cancer Progression For Men on Active Surveillance

Researchers from the University of Toronto have found a link between obesity and a higher risk of prostate cancer progression in men on "active surveillance."

Because prostate cancer grows slowly, some men are not treated immediately. Instead, they have frequent checkups to see if the disease is progressing. this is called active surveilance.  If the cancer is progressing, then treatment may start. 

The research team studied 565 men with prostate cancer who were on active surveillance. They found that the obese men were at higher risk for disease progression. Also, the more obese the men were, the higher the risk.

Testosterone Therapy and Heart Health

Testosterone therapy does not appear to put men at high risk of heart problems, a new study has found.

The researchers, who presented their work at an American Heart Association conference last month, looked at the medical records of almost 5,700 men between the ages of 53 and 71.

All of the men had low testosterone to start. Some of them were treated with testosterone therapy, some weren't.

The research team discovered that the men who underwent testosterone therapy over a three-year follow-up period had lower rates of heart attack, stroke, and death when compared to the men who had low testosterone throughout the study period.
