Men with prostate cancer who take supplemental lycopene in addition to surgical removal of the testicles may experience less active disease, less bone pain, and live longer than those who only have surgical removal of the testicles, according to a new study in British Journal of Urology International. This is exciting news for millions of men who have to undergo aggressive treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Radiation, hormone replacement, and drugs are some of the more conventional methods of treating prostate cancer. More recently surgery has been suggested to prolong survival and check the spread of cancer outside the prostate gland. Alternative prostate cancer treatment approaches the problem from a different perspective.
