Prostate cancer occurs when the cells within the prostate begin to grow out of control. There are many difference prostate cells—however, most prostate cancers originate in the gland cells in what is referred to as adenocarcinoma. Read on for more information on how you can reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Individuals who are considered obese, or those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, are at an increased risk for prostate cancer. You can help reduce your chances of developing prostate cancer by maintaining a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise.
Eat a Balanced Diet
Eating a nutritious, healthy diet may help prevent many different types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Try to follow a diet that is high in fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, whole grains, and fatty fish such as sardines, tuna, trout, and salmon. You may also consider drinking more green tea, adding soy to your diet, and limiting your consumption of alcohol.
Exercise Regularly
Exercise not only helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer by allowing you to maintain a healthy weight but has also been shown to help boost your immune system. Consider incorporating 30 minutes of moderate aerobic or cardio activity into your schedule at least three days a week such as walking, jogging, swimming, biking, or yoga.
Consult with Your Physician
A great way to prevent the development of prostate cancer is to visit with your physician regularly for a prostate exam. Consulting with your doctor will also enable you to discuss your risk factors for prostate cancer and determine if there are any additional lifestyle changes you will want to make.

CyberKnife VSI is a non-invasive, stereotactic radiosurgery treatment method that painlessly destroys cancerous and non-cancerous tumors nearly anywhere in the body with unmatched precision and accuracy. This article will take a closer look at some of the signs that you may benefit from undergoing CyberKnife surgery for prostate cancer.
You have Organ-Confined Tumors
While CyberKnife VSI can target tumors nearly anywhere in the body, treatment is often more effective when the tumor is confined to a specific organ or region rather than metastasized throughout the body. For this reason, men with prostate tumors or cancerous cells that are confined within their prostate can benefit from CyberKnife surgery over chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
You have Inoperable Prostate Tumors
Some prostate tumors may be considered inoperable due to their movement patterns or location within the gland. CyberKnife VSI is a great option for individuals with inoperable prostate tumors as it can direct high-targeted doses of radiation to cancerous tumors with sub-millimeter precision—ultimately destroying the cancer cells without causing damage to adjacent tissues, organs, or other essential structures.
You are Interested in Alternative to Radical Prostatectomy
One of the biggest signs that CyberKnife VSI is right for you is that you want to avoid the side effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy without having to opt for a radical prostatectomy, or procedure in which the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue is completely removed.
The best way to determine if CyberKnife VSI is the right treatment method for your type of prostate cancer is to set up an initial consultation with Colorado CyberKnife VSI. Give us a call at (888) 592-8185 for more information on CyberKnife VSI for lung cancer, breast cancer, spinal tumors, liver cancer, and trigeminal neuralgia.
