Diabetes, heart attacks and other cardio Problems appear to be more common in men with prostate cancer who are treated with androgen deprivation treatment, which reduces or eliminates the male sex hormones that will promote cancer growth, a new study has found.

The finding indicates that androgen treatment is overused because its benefits have not been shown to outweigh its hazards in numerous cases. No trial has shown an overall benefit for androgen deprivation care in cases where ‘watchful waiting’ is chosen rather than radiation care or surgery for prostate trouble. Prior research has proven potential dangers related to androgen deprivation therapy in older men.

Surgical removal of the testes was related to a 40 % increased risk for heart disease and an increased more than 200 percent risk for heart attack. Use of multiple hormone-blocking agents was associated with a 27 percent increased risk for heart disease.

Surgical removal of the testes was associated with a forty p.c increased risk for coronary disease and an increased more then two times risk for heart attack. Use of multiple hormone-blocking agents was associated with a twenty-seven % increased risk for heart disease.

The best risk was discovered for drugs that target gonadotropin-releasing hormone : 159.4 cases of diabetes per one thousand person-years, compared to 87.5 for men who didn’t have androgen deprivation treatment, as well as a 35 p.c increased risk for unexpected cardiac death, a comparable increase in coronary risk and a 22 % increased risk for stroke.

Cancer drugs, surgery, chemo, and radiation….these are the answers conventional medicine gives us. We have other options available.
