Prostate cancer is one of the most lethal cancers for men, killing 11,000 every year. It mainly attacks older men, 95% of all patients are between 45 and 80.

It is also on the increase, with dramatic rises each year. It is predicted that, in the future, prostate cancer will be the commonest cancer effecting at least 1 in 10 men at sometime in their lives.

Although we do not exactly know what causes prostate cancer, one theory associates it with the high fat, high meat, low-in-vegetable diet of Western culture. In the Far East, where less meat and many more vegetables are eaten, there is a much lower incidence of the disease.
