Prostate gland is an integral part in the reproductive system of men. It is situated below the urinary bladder. Prostate gland helps in the production of seminal liquid. The prostate gland is responsible for producing semen and it surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer typically grows slowly and doesn’t spread beyond the prostate gland, but in some cases, it can spread to other parts of the body, especially if it is not detected and treated early. As per studies, prostate cancer is more common in men above 65 years of age. Now it is increasing in younger people.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown. Several risk factors increase a man’s chances of developing the disease. These factors include age, family history of prostate cancer, ethnicity, obesity, and exposure to certain chemicals.

Scientists from Kanazawa University in Japan have identified kahweol acetate and cafestol hydrocarbon compounds naturally found in coffee — which may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer.
‘We found that kahweol acetate and cafestol inhibited the growth of cancer cells in mice, but the combination seemed to work synergistically, leading to a significantly slower tumour growth than in untreated mice,’ said lead author Hiroaki Iwamoto.
