    The discovery of the five differing types of prostate cancer could transform the medical aid and treatments offered to patients as medical professionals will be dealing with five different diseases. The discovery means that doctors will now potentially be able to distinguish between slow growing to the more deadlier cancers. The discovery was identified by comparing 250 samples removed during surgery.

    Dr Gordon Muir, Consultant Urological Surgeon at London Bridge Hospital said that early prostate cancer causes no symptoms, but can only be detected by examination or a blood test. Prostate cancer is normally diagnosed by blood test and then a biopsy.

    Advanced prostate cancer symptoms include bone pain, difficulty passing urine, or general tiredness. There are 41,700 cases reported each year in the UK.

    There are lifestyle factors that can increase your chances of developing prostate cancer. Family history being a significant factor as well as race, black men are at much higher risk of the cancer that kills around 11,000 men a year. According to statistics one in four black men will get prostate cancer ay some point in their lifes.

    “Being overweight and eating a lot of cooked red meat may increase the risk slightly too.” explains Dr Gordon Muir.

    ANSWERS: Expert Advice On Prostate Cancer

    Dr Gordon Muir, Consultant Urological Surgeon at London Bridge Hospital who has provides expert advice to help those who may be affected by Prostate Cancer.

    After the news that five different types of Prostate Cancer have been discovered, we spoke with Dr Gordon Muir, the Consultant Urological Surgeon at London Bridge Hospital for advice on discovery and recovery from Prostate Cancers.

    What are the main symptoms of prostate cancer?

    Early prostate cancer causes no symptoms and can be diagnosed only by examination or a blood test. Advanced prostate cancer may present with bone pain, difficulty passing urine, or general malaise.

    How is prostate cancer normally diagnosed?

    A blood test (PSA) followed by biopsy. The work between King’s and Guy’s Hospitals has pioneered the use of MRI scanning and targeted, more accurate biopsies via the transperineal approach. This is offered to patients at the London Bridge Hospital as a routine.

    What treatment options would you recommend for prostate cancer – what are the advantages/ disadvantages of radical treatment vs. active surveillance?

    With early prostate cancer we are now focusing on selection of those men who need radical treatment and those who can be safely monitored by either active surveillance or minimally invasive treatment. It’s a complex field with many different factors and each man should be offered an entirely bespoke treatment plan.

    Do you have any tips to help men engage more with their health, to reduce the incidences of prostate cancer by ignorance?

    PSA testing reduces the death rate from prostate cancer but in the trials published so far, too many men have had radical treatment to justify a widespread screening program. So our work on stratifying risk is very important and exciting. In general, men will gain less from prostate cancer screening as they get older, so we would not ordinarily recommend PSA testing beyond 70 years of age, but there is an argument for beginning screening much earlier in high risk men.

    Are there any lifestyle factors that are commonly associated with prostate cancer?

    The most important factors are race (black men are much more likely to develop the disease) and family history – there is nothing a man can do about those! Being overweight and eating a lot of cooked red meat may increase the risk slightly too.

    Do you have any advice or tips to help reduce the chance of developing prostate cancer?

    Certain dietary factors may reduce the risk – tomatoes, green and yellow vegetables, soya protein, coffee and garlic may all help. As with most diseases, the best advice is to eat a healthy diet and keep fit.

     

  • EastEnders Newcomer Victim Of Online Homophobic Abuse

    EastEnders’ newcomer Jonny Labey has spoken out about the homophobic threats he’s received online.

    The star whose character, Paul Coker had an on-screen romp with Ben Micthell, which attracted 48 official complaints to OFCom has also been a target for abuse on social media.

    Speaking to GT in their new issue, Jonny said that feedback on the scene and his character was:

    “…all very positive, I thought, but it wasn’t until I got curious and started nosing around that I found the negative ones.

    “It doesn’t matter if it’s gay or not, there’s people that don’t agree or aren’t comfortable watching. It’s 2015, you need to move on from this stupid discrimination against gay men!

    “People would’ve been fine if it was a guy and a girl kissing.”

  • WATCH: Horrific Glass Attack In Manchester Gay Village

    Police are looking to question two men in connection with a vicious attack in Manchester’s gay village, which left one man with a cut to his head.

    Police in Manchester have released CCTV footage taken from inside the New Union pub on Princess Street in the centre of Manchester’s gay village. The chilling footage, shot on the 7th June 2015, shows two men brawling with a man who was struck in the head with a glass. The victim, a 43-year-old male, was left with a cut to the head.

    A second man then threw a chair towards the victim before being ejected from the pub. Police have now issued CCTV footage of the incident.

     

    The main offender is described as being white, in his 30s, of a medium build, with short dark hair and a bear. He was wearing a light coloured jacket and a light coloured T-shirt with a CND logo on the front, and dark trousers.

    The man who threw the chair was white, in his 30s, of a stocky build, with a shaved head and wearing a light-coloured hoody with the logo EAZ on the front.

    Detective Constable Sean Downey said: “The victim suffered a cut to his head as a result of being attacked, and in some ways is fortunate the injuries were not more severe.

    “The offender could have had no control over where the shards of glass went and we could have been dealing with a very grave injury. That we aren’t is pure luck, so we are treating this very seriously and we need to find the offender.

    “We have issued CCTV footage and I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the images to call us.

    “Alternatively, if you were in the pub that night and witnessed what happened, or you suspect who may be responsible, then please call us.”

    Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
