In spite of that is really in mistake, I am the one that will endure the consequences. I am the person who is to a risk increased for the diabetes and the problems of the heart. I am the person who will also suffer the result from to be too big, grease, and have leave and buy new trousers and has my progress of the cancer of the prostate maybe more quickly. Which is worse, as having to buy new trousers or having my progress of the cancer of the prostate? Two recent studies demonstrated that my on state of the weight can be really worse that to be going to make the shoppings. According to a survey returned in the Cancer of the newspaper (Volume 109, page 1192) is more possible than the cancer of the prostate spreads in men who are obese to diagnosis. The researchers directed the results of 752 men with local - or cancer of the regional stage prostate that varies in age of 40-64. Fourteen percent of the men had some tumors with a Gleason score of 7 or higher, 63% have been dealt with a prostatectomy radicals and 72% had PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL or higher when diagnosed. The men have been followed for 10 years, obese men (body index of mass of 30 or higher) was presumably more than three times as to have developed some metastases and was more that two times as presumably to have died of cancer of the prostate by opposition to their equivalents of the nonobese. The researchers even took in factors of the account that could have increased the probability of extent of the cancer of the prostate and death. The poorer results in the obese men can be in relation with the modifications in the hormones of the sex, increases in cancer-encouraging substances like leptin, or high levels of challenging molecules everything of that is associated with the grease of the body in excess. Researchers to the British Newspaper of International urology (volume 100, page 315) concluded also is more possible than this cancer of the prostate been by therapy about radiation reproduces in men who are obese. In this survey 706 men have been distributed with cancer of the prostate localized treaty with radiotherapy. The middle age to diagnosis in this survey was 72 years. These men have been directed for nearly eight years. The normal weight has been defined like an index of the mass of the body (BMI) of less that 25; too big, 25-29.9; and obese, 30 or higher. Roughly 28% of the men were normal weights; slightly more that half either too big, and roughly 22% were obese. The obese men had been diagnosed to a younger age that the men of the nonobese, but they were similar as for stage of the illness, pretreatment that PSA level, and Gleason score. No one had received the therapy of the androgen-deprivation. The results showed that the middle time to biochemical return (relapse of cancer of the prostate detected by a level increasing PSA) was 93 months for men of the normal-weight, 88 months for the too big men, and 84 months for the obese men. These studies don't tell us if to lose the weight can lower your risk of a relapse of cancer of the prostate if you are already obese. However he/it shows that the obesity is a concern of the major health that affects more that your only your heart and statute of the diabetes. Should I therefore, lose the weight? Of course the answer is yes. But I will lose the weight? It is the question of gold. To me am pleased to this time when I go to the doctor and I don't have weight of the gain, but I guess that is not good enough.
