Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but research increasingly suggests that diet and lifestyle choices can play a significant role in both reducing risk and supporting treatment outcomes. While no single diet can cure prostate cancer, evidence shows that nutrition can influence cancer progression and recovery. By adopting a…
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, and early detection is key to improving outcomes. A Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test is one of the primary screening tools used to assess the health of the prostate. The PSA test measures the amount of PSA, a protein produced by both cancerous and…
