Conclusion of research by a team from the Harvard School of Public Health and University of California found that the risk of death from prostate cancer in male smokers to 61 percent. Similarly, the risk for disease recurrence after therapy.
Between smokers and nonsmokers whose cancer has not spread when diagnosed, or in medical language are called non-metastatic cancer, the risk of death faced by smokers to 80 percent.
However, smokers who had quit for 10 years or older when diagnosed with prostate cancer have equal opportunities to male non-smokers, both in recurrence and mortality risk.
"This research data is only a little relief because we know to reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. It also could be grounds for not smoking," says Edward Giovannucci, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard.
The study examines health data from 5366 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1986 and 2006. In that period, 1630 died, 524 (32 percent) due to prostate cancer and 416 (26 percent) due to heart disease.
