Prostate Cancer an STD?
The headline from The Scientist magazine is startling - Prostate cancer is increasingly looking like an infectious disease, a new study shows, and may be sexually transmitted.
This means that the trend is towards all cancers being infectious diseases, but not everyone with the disease gets cancer - ie there are other aspects involved, like lifestyle, health and genetics.
I find it interesting, the possibility that most men with prostate cancer caught it from being promiscuous or unfaithful. It certainly makes prevention much, much easier.
