The prostate gland is considered a reproductive organ in men.
Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition in which the cells of the prostate have become cancerous due to the alternation of the cell's DNA.
Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the Physical (rectum) exams.
Primary prostate cancer normally starts from the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue and gradually spreads to the deeper part of the prostate.
At the early stage, patients may not experience any symptoms, However, at the advanced stage, prostate cancer can induce symptoms of blood in the urine, frequent urination, and urinary difficulty.
The cancer cells at this stage can also travel a distance away from the prostate to invade other healthy tissue and organ, leading to secondary metastasis tumors.
According to the statistic, the 5-year survival rate for local and regional (stage 0 and 1) stages of prostate cancer is nearly 100%.
Believe it or not, more than 80% of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older.
Therefore, men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer due to family history and increase in age, and inherited gene changes should have their prostate gland checked annually.
On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer activity researchers examined the effects of Brassica vegetables, including mustard greens on prostate cancer risk.
According to the tested results
* Brassica vegetables exerted a strong effect on the metabolic breakdown products associated with the modulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes that protect DNA from damage.
According to the 12 published studies that analyze the relationship of Brassica vegetable intake and prostate cancer risk* Three reported statistically significant reduced risks (P < 0.05) and one reported a borderline significantly reduced risk (P = 0.06) with high Brassica vegetable consumption.
* 6 showed a clear explanation of the prostate cancer risk involved in the consumption of Brassica vegetables.
Collectively, researchers said, " The epidemiological literature provides modest support for the hypothesis that high intakes of Brassica vegetables reduce prostate cancer risk".
Taken altogether, mustard greens may be considered a functional food for reducing the risk of prostate cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
