Prostate cancer is basically a type of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The cancer cells may metastasize (spread) from the prostate to other parts of the body, in particular the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during sexual intercourse, or erectile dysfunction. Other symptoms can potentially develop during later stages of the disease.

What are the options of treatment then? Well, even though differences of opinions do exist, these include surgery, radiation therapy, and proton therapy. Other treatments, for instance hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, cryosurgery, and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) also exist, depending on the clinical scenario and desired outcome.

However, you don’t have to worry for all these. One can get rid of this menace hydraulic on condition that he cares to drink coffee and this is certainly not any conjecture. A newly concluded study has opined that drinking of coffee may lessen a man's risk of developing fatal prostate cancer. As per researchers, among the 50,000 men followed over a 20-year period, nearly one in ten developed prostate cancer.

Nevertheless, the scientists concluded that men who drank coffee to the highest degree had a 60 per cent lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer compared to those who drank none by any means. It is to be noted that aggressive prostate cancers, known as "tigers", are far more expected to prove deadly than milder forms of the disease. On the word of study leader Dr Kathryn Wilson, of the Harvard Medical School in Boston, it was probable that there may be an alliance between coffee and prostate cancer.

As stated by her, only a few lifestyle hydraulic factors have been constantly linked with prostate cancer risk, in particular with risk of aggressive disease, for that reason it would be very stimulating if this connection is confirmed in other studies. She added: "Our results do suggest there is no reason to stop drinking coffee out of any concern about prostate cancer."
