When have you been diagnosed with prostate
cancer?
Do you know the stage of the cancer?
Did you undergo certain treatment
already?
There are some study results that indicate
positive correlation among obesity and
prostate cancer.
Patient that are obese a year before
diagnosis of prostate cancer, are 2.6
times more likely than men with a normal
weight to die of prostate cancer.
Also, obesity in the year before diagnosis
is tripling the odds that the cancer would
spread (metastasize).
