A healthy lifestyle does not negate the risk of developing cancer. Regular screening tests (especially if over the age of 50) can help find cancer when still at an early stage. Talk to your doctor about your risk of prostate cancer. Also, try and eat fruit. Vitamin C has been shown to reduce cancer growth in some types of cells grown in laboratories. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it helps prevent cell damage.

In Canada the most often diagnosed cancer for men is prostate cancer. Next
A growing body of evidence suggests that certain vitamins and minerals may protect against prostate cancer and/or slow its progression. The best way to increase vitamin and mineral intake is by eating a wide variety of healthy foods.
If detected and treated early, 90% of prostate cancer cases can be cured. Although not full proof, regular testing is the first step in early diagnosis – at the stage when the chances of a cure are good. Early detection and treatment saves lives, misery and money. It costs approximately $16,000 (CAD) for a radical prostatectomy to treat prostate cancer before it has spread. Movember helps fund early detection and treatment through awareness and advocacy across Canada.
One in 7 Canadian men will develop prostate cancer during his lifetime. Visit http://tinyurl.com/jsorgent-mobro to help fund the support of those affected by and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

Clinical research involves four phases of patient-oriented research. Human subjects are focused on where causes and the consequences of disease in human population are studied. Doctors directly interact with individuals to validate problems of disease, outcomes of research or health services, or developing new technologies, therapeutic intervenions, or clinical trials. Movember helps funds clinical research.
On average, 85 Canadian men will die of prostate cancer every week.
Translational research is where scientists actively or researching the development of treatment for a disease like prostate cancer, first test the effects of promising drugs on removed prostate cancer cells. Movember helps funds translational research.
Basic research is when scientists look at small ‘cultures’ of cells from humans, or even at microscopic organisms. Basic research allows scientists to find new targets for potential drugs and treatments for prostate cancer. Movember helps funds basic research.
