Washington, Apr 27 (ANI): Pomegranate juice could help prevent prostate cancer recurrence, finds a new study./pp
During the study, the researchers followed a total of 48 participants over six years. These patients were asked to drinking eight ounces of pomegranate juice daily./pp
The participants had a rising PSA after surgery or radiotherapy, a PSA greater than 0.2 ng/ml and less than five ng/ml and a Gleason score of seven or less. /pp
The men who remained in the study experienced a significant increase in PSA doubling time following treatment, from a mean of 15.4 months to 60 months, researchers said./pp
This study suggests that pomegranate juice may effectively slow the progression of prostate cancer after unsuccessful treatment, said Dr Christopher Amling, an AUA spokesman. /pp
