If you are a type 2 diabetic then you are at least less prone to prostate cancer. This finding has been put forward by a recent study and bringing out the conclusion more clearly Dr. Mona Saraiva and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atlanta said: Recent studies have suggested an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and lower risk of prostate cancer. To come up with firm evidences researchers studied some people with type 2 diabetes and some without this type of diabetes and came up with the conclusion that patients with type 2 diabetes were with 21.6 percent less PSA level. Actually, PSA or prostate -specific antigen level is a biological marker of prostate cancer and higher level of PSA shows that person is at higher risk of prostate cancer. This new finding provides researchers with some important clues, helping them to find a better solution to treat prostate cancer. Image credit: patients-association Via: yahoo
