Prostate Cancer Treatment and Detection

Patrick Walsh was recently on Charlie Rose PBS. There's more here about prostate cancer than you think you know.. Good Read..

clipped from www.pbs.org DR. PATRICK WALSH Dr. Patrick Walsh, director of the Jane Fucanon Brady Urological Institute at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, shares his thoughts on prostate cancer treatment and detection. PATRICK WALSH: Well, there's a lot of speculation about it. We know that men that are Asian and grow up in Asia have a 2 percent lifetime risk for developing the disease. But when they move to the United States and live here for 25 years or more, their risk begins to approach that of Caucasian men in the United States. So it has something to do with environment, either things that we do wrong in the United States like possibly eat too much fat, or things that we don't do at all like not eating enough green tea and soy.
