Men that suffer from obesity and take radiation treatment for prostate cancer my find the treatment is less effective. A researcher did a study of eight hundred plus men. He found that moderately and severely obese men had a seventy (70) percent higher risk of having a tumor recur after radiation treatment than thinner men did.
The men received external-beam radiotherapy their prostate cancer treatment. Obesity is really taking a beating in the medical and general press. Here is another reason, prostate cancer, for big medicine and big pharmaceutical to start treating obesity as an illness and addiction. I am fairly certain that this radiotherapy cause sterility so obese men may want to think about this treatment if they want to have children.
Overweight Reduces Prostate Cancer Treatment
John comments: I can tell you that you are not thinking about having childen when you have prostate cancer, you are thinking about surviving.
