Link found between common sexual infection and risk of aggressive prostate cancer

A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital researchers has found a strong association between the common sexually transmitted infection, Trichomonas vaginalis, and risk of advanced and lethal prostate cancer in men (see also Harvard School of Public Health).

The study appears online on September 9, 2009, on the Journal of the National Cancer Institute website and will appear in a later print edition.

"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in western countries, and the second leading cause of cancer-specific mortality. Identifying modifiable risk factors for the lethal form of prostate cancer offers the greatest opportunity to reduce suffering from this disease," said Jennifer Stark, an HSPH researcher and lead author of the study.

One potential risk factor is inflammation, which appears to play an important role in the development and progression of prostate cancer, but the source of inflammation of the prostate is not clear. Trichomonas vaginalis, which infects an estimated 174 million people globally each year and is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection, can infect the prostate and could be a source of inflammation. With respect to prostate cancer prevention, it is noteworthy that up to three-quarters of men infected with Trichomonas vaginalis may not realize they are infected, since they may not have any symptoms.

A previous study had found an association between risk of prostate cancer and Trichomonas vaginalis infection, but was not large enough to determine if there was a link between the infection and advanced and lethal disease.

In the present study, the researchers analyzed blood samples from 673 men with prostate cancer who were participants in the Physicians' Health Study and compared infection status based on antibody levels to 673 control subjects who were not diagnosed with prostate cancer. The blood samples were collected in 1982, on average a decade before cancer diagnosis.

The results showed that Trichomonas vaginalis infection was associated with a more than two-fold increase in the risk of prostate cancer that was advanced stage at diagnosis, and a nearly three-fold increase in prostate cancer that would result in death.

"The fact that we found a strong association between serologic evidence of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, a potentially modifiable risk factor, and risk of advanced and lethal disease represents a step forward in prostate cancer, especially given that so few risk factors for aggressive prostate cancer have been identified," said Lorelei Mucci, assistant professor in the department of epidemiology at HSPH and senior author of the study.

The authors note that further research needs to be done to confirm the findings. If confirmed, the findings from the large-scale, prospective study would identify infections as one of the few known modifiable factors for aggressive prostate cancer. Moreover, since the infection is easily treated with an inexpensive antibiotic regimen, the results from the study suggest that prevention or early treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis infection could be a target for prostate cancer prevention.

Not to surprised to here this.

In work I have done in a woman's health clinic I can confirm that men rarely get treated for this disease and there are probably a zillion and a half carriers out there.

another link to cancer caused by a microbe.... hmm... how many does that make now?

More reason for everyone to do a years cleanse with mms.

interesting article.
good idea about the mms. wouldn't it be better to take it as daily maintenance instead of just once yearly? i do not know for sure, since i am quite new to the whole mms phenom.
anyway, J. Humble DOES claim that his new researched MMS2 (administered along with mms1) has cured prostate cancer. no hardcore evidence to support his claims, but the simple science makes sense. i hope more people look into mms as a simple cure for things that traditional medicine attacks invasively and aggressively and for all the 'incurable' diseases.
thanks for posting.

Here is the website of a man that treated his prostate cancer, that had metastacised to the bone, with bicarbonate of soda and molasses plus special breathing exercises. He kept a log of his progress and what he used. It worked!

Nice find Nightowl.

Mark Sircus had contact with him 15 months ago and I got the link from Mark's newsletter. He wrote quite a bit about him too, and was pretty happy to document that oral bicarbinate of soda does work. Mark has never been happy with Dr. Simoncini's protocol of soda having to be administered by IV and that soda doesn't do much orally. IV is more expensive and requires a doctor. He says the main thing is getting the PH to a very alkyline state. Do any of you subscribe to his IMVA newsletter? He is very sharp, I think.

No, I don't get that news letter.
I wonder about taking it orally for all cancers. It has to be able to penetrate the tumor, and some tumors are massive and thats why Simoncine uses IV and direct injections into tumors.
And I also wonder if all microbes are sensitive to the change in ph.

To be convinced I would have to hear more stories on different types of cancer. The prostate perhaps has better circulation than other body parts and prostate cancer has been cured with mms also. I wonder if the two protocols could enhance each other.

Prostate "cancer" is caused by fungus.

Fungus/cancer needs sugar, simple carbs or grains for food.

Molasses is used to feed the cancer (fungus) however the cells are killed by the baking soda, since it is very alkaline.

Exactly pinballdoctor. As I've heard it described, cancer cells are hard to penatrate (spell?!) but when they see their favorite food, the glucose in the molasses, the cells open wide, not realizing that it is accompanied by the soda, which causes the cell to die because it is alkaline.

Arrow, this is what Mark's newsletter had to say about MMS:

“If Simoncini is correct that cancer is fungus the MMS, which becomes chlorine dioxide in the body given intravenously will kill off the fungus in the body. The MMS is quite foul and distresses many peoples’ stomachs so the reason it is given intravenously is that you can get a higher dose in without the same side effects. Also I found my patients had side effects from the bicarbonate IVs using Simoncini’s protocol so I give it orally. So we get the same effect just administering the agents differently. I found this worked best for the patients I was treating. It so easy to give and does not give any discomfort.
