Introduction and Objectives Cranberry products are frequently used in the prevention of urinary tract infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of cranberry fruit powder in men at risk of prostate disease with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), negative prostate biopsies and clinically confirmed chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Material and Methods Forty two participants were randomized to receive either 500 mg of dried powdered cranberries (n = 21, Cranberry group) 3 times daily or no treatment for six months (n = 21, Control group). At baseline both groups had similar clinical and demographic characteristics. They were evaluated using physical examination, the International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS), Quality of Life Score (QoL), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), basic laboratory parameters, hematology, selenium, testosterone, prostate specific antigen, antioxidant status, transrectal ultrasound prostate volume, urinary flow rate, ultrasound estimated postvoid residual urine volume at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. Urine ex vivo antiadherence activity was determined on the last day of study. Results In contrast to the Control group, patients in Cranberry group had statistically significant improvement in IPSS, QoL, IIEF-5, urination parameters including voiding parameters: rate of urine flow (Q max ), average flow (Q ave ), total volume (V) and postvoid residual urine volume (RV), lower PSA tot level on 180 day of the study. There was no influence on blood testosterone levels and no adverse events recorded. No improvement was found in the control group. Conclusions The results of this trial are the first firm evidence that cranberries may improve the prostate health of men at risk of prostate disease leading to a number of medical complications including prostate cancer.

How long can you live with prostate cancer that has spread?

For men with distant spread (metastasis) of prostate cancer, about one-third will survive for five years after diagnosis.

As cancer diagnoses go, prostate cancer is often a less serious one. Prostate cancer is frequently slow-growing and slow to spread. For many men, prostate cancer is less serious than their other medical conditions. For these reasons, and possibly because of earlier detection of low-grade prostate cancers, prostate cancer has one of the highest survival rates of any type of cancer. WebMD takes a look at prostate cancer survival rates and what they mean to you. Prostate Cancer Is Common With Aging After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. About 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. And these are just the men who are diagnosed. Among very elderly men dying of other causes, a surprising two-thirds may have prostate cancer that was never diagnosed. Only 1 in 36 men, though, actually dies from prostate cancer. That's because most prostate cancers are diagnosed in older men in whom the disease is more likely to be slow-growing and non-aggressive. The majority of these men eventually pass away from heart disease, stroke, or other causes -- not their prostate cancer.
