1 :
have patience=they are discovering more every day breast cancer will have a cure found for it too
2 :
The same way they've found a vaccine for Human Papaloma Virus, but not HIV.
3 :
Prostate is usually slower growing in older men so some less aggressive treatments are available but like you said "potential cure". The "cures" for any cancer are all "potential cures". Plain old faith has worked sometimes. It is all a crap shoot.
4 :
The best I have heard is Provenge to prolong life.
5 :
Every cure is potential in that some people can have the very best treatment and die whether it be breast or prostate.
6 :
Sometimes I just think medical professionals give more weight to men's issues than women's !!! Seriously, I have no idea, but it galls me that even though almost 50% of men will develop prostate cancer if they live long enough, doctors would never suggest they have it removed prophylactically. However, doctors have no problem in suggesting women take out their uterus and ovaries ("so you won't have to worry about cancer") when only a very small percentage of women will actually develop it. Seems they are more concerned about preserving a man's sexual enjoyment than a woman's. Just my ranting opinion.

Hi, regarding your question, please visit "www.smile.org.au". There is a huge database of cancers including the symptoms of cancers, the cause and effect, prevention of cancers, as well as a wide range of cancer treatments.
8 :
What potential cure are you referring to? I know of no such thing.
9 :
The cure for breast cancer is the same as prostate cancer, early detection and aggressive treatment. I am a 4 year survivor of breast cancer and early detection was the key to survival so be sure to get your annual mammogram.

It doesn't make sense, does it? You might find this interesting, so I'm sending it along-- Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven't blessed something, it can't be real good. Well, here's something I know to be real AND good. It's a little different take on cancer treatment-- In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I'm a retired engineer, and this is what I've pieced together--our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means: WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.) Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body. It takes a LONG time, usually, or a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly. THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I've read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here's a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find-- "The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825 "The Cure for All Advanced Cancers", ISBN 1890035165 "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052 "Oxygen Therapies", ISBN 0962052701 "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077 "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410 "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966 "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", ISBN 0975599518 I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) AFTER they went on programs of herbs and nutrition to restart their immune systems. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy. This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything--just trying to help. I am using the things I learned in those books right now to fight off a second infestation of cancer. I've been at it for over a year now, and think I'm going to make it. Use what works for you, and pass on your success. Best of luck. AMA AND FDA-- The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law and the FDA in this country with heavy lobbying and a revolving door policy. WHY would they want to do this? It's about the money. In 2006, medicine (doctors, hospitals, researchers and pharmaceutical firms) received 2.1 TRILLION dollars--15% of the total earnings (GNP 13.7 trillion) in the U.S. This is astounding! It means MILLIONS of people worked the whole year just to pay the nation's medical expenses!! That's totally astounding, and just too big to care about individuals.
