Common Prostate Cancer Treatment Causes Cancer to Spread Throughout Body
The following article illustrates yet again how conventional medicine tends to stumble from one unproven treatment to another for prostate cancer, experimenting and testing one theory after another only to find, years later, they have probably caused more harm than good. This is in spite of the endless millions - or should that be billions - spent on cancer research each year.
(NaturalNews) Androgen deprivation therapy, commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer, may actually make cancer more likely to spread to other parts of the body, according to a study conducted at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and published in the journal Cancer Research.
Because prostate tumor growth is generally stimulated by male sex hormones, androgen deprivation therapy, in which those hormones are suppressed, is often given to patients in order to slow tumor growth.
Prior research has demonstrated that a protein called nestin tends to be produced by prostate cancer cells that have metastasized to other parts of the body. Nestin does not appear to be produced by cancer cells, however, in cases where the cancer has not spread.
