The statistics for Denmark have been used by anti-circumcision advocates to draw a sweeping and fallacious conclusion about lack of circumcision per se in penile cancer. They painstakingly narrowed the search until they hit on a genetic defect that increases the activity of a molecular pathway that has been linked to the growth of cancer cells. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, art therapy, counseling, massage, meditation, etc. are therapies which are given alongside conventional cancer treatments. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - A protein produced by the cells in the prostate, which is usually found in the blood in larger than normal amounts when prostate cancer is present.
Many herbs (including astragalus, dong quai, echinacea, and Asian ginseng) supposedly "boost" the immune system and so shore up the body against future or existing cancer. In the meantime, researchers at the MIT-Harvard CCNE have already turned an obstacle into an opportunity by adopting an inverse targeting approach for imaging pancreatic cancer. Cells that are damaged or defunct are eliminated and replaced by new cells at the rate of one million per second. A cell that fails to die may continue to multiply and form a cancer. Statistics prove if we take these hormonal drugs for the duration of the course (usually around five years) we have a far better chance of living longer. And recent research by Cancer Research UK says the nastier side effects may prove the drugs are working better.
I thought you might be interested to know there are a number of studies showing magnetic fields of just 12mG (1.2µT) block the ability of tamoxifen to control the growth of human breast cancer cells (see references below). Evidence shows that vegetables, fruits and other foods containing dietary fibre (such as wholegrains and pulses) may protect against a range of cancers including mouth, stomach and bowel cancer. A white or red patch in the mouth or on the tongue, a painless ulcer which doesn't heal for over two weeks, difficulty in eating, drinking and speaking are some of the early signs of oral cancer. As a historical point of interest, Diego Rivera, the famous Mexican muralist, who had multiple sexual partners over many years in a country where most men are uncircumcised, developed penile cancer [Schoen, 2007d].
