Men with prostate cancer who follow a vegan lifestyle are more likely to recover from the disease than men who have both products from both plant and animal sources in their meals. Prostate cancer is the number one killer of men in several countries in the West. The disease starts in the prostate gland, which is located beside the urethra.

Vegan Diet Cancer Prevention: DRE Can Detect Abnormalities in the Prostate Gland
素食防癌法：DRE可以監測前列腺異常
Many men are wary of doing the digital rectal exam, which can be used to detect abnormalities in the prostate gland. There are cultural issues that prevent them from doing regular checks. In addition to this, many men do not want to find out that something really is wrong.
很多男性怕做直腸指檢，該項檢查可以檢測到前列腺的異常。很多文化因素阻止他們進行常規檢查。除此以外，很多男人也不想知道自己真正的問題。

Vegan Diet Cancer Prevention: DRE Versus PSA
素食防癌法：DRE對比PSA
People may fear the results of this test but an enlarged prostate is not necessarily a sign of cancer. The PSA is an even more accurate test than the digital rectal exam. However doctors will usually recommend the PSA test after they pick up on an abnormality in the prostate gland during an exam or a man complains of specific symptoms.
人們也許害怕檢查結果，但是，前列腺增生並不一定是癌症的標誌。 PSA是一種比直腸指檢更精確的檢測方法。然而，在檢查過程中，或者當男性抱怨一些特定症狀時，醫生通常才會建議PSA檢查。
