Dietary saturated fat linked to aggressive prostate cancer

Men with prostate cancer may be more likely to have the most serious form of the disease if their diet contains a lot of fat from meat and dairy, a recent U.S. study suggests.The increased risk tied to saturated fat and cholesterol was greater for the prostate cancer patients who had not been taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, researchers report in the journal Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases.The link between saturated fat in the diet and aggressive prostate cancer was also strongest for men of European descent, compared to African American men, the study found."A diet high in saturated fat contributes to high blood cholesterol levels," which have already been linked to worse outcomes for prostate cancer, said lead author Emma Allott of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Research finds disparity in rates of prostate cancer treatment among African-American, Hispanic men

Research finds disparity in rates of prostate cancer treatment among African-American, Hispanic men

African-American and Hispanic men in the United States are less likely to receive therapy for prostate cancer compared to Caucasian men — even when they have more aggressive disease, according to new research from Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.The study, senior authored by Willie Underwood, III, MD, MPH, MSci, of Roswell Park, has been published online ahead of print in the journal Urology."Despite their higher risk for more aggressive disease, African-American men and Hispanic men are less likely to receive treatment, and less treatment may play a significant role in increased rates of death from prostate cancer," says Dr. Underwood, the paper's senior author and Associate Professor in the Department of Urology at Roswell Park."This research demonstrates a need for an action plan to address a racial disparity that has been known for more than 20 years."
