The Connection Between Diet and Aggressive Prostate Cancer


Along with the diagnosis of a severe medical condition often comes uncertainty about how an individual will be able to manage financially. If you are going to be disabled for a period of time and unable to work, you may be entitled to receive long-term disability benefits.

In a report from Disabled World, a new study shows that DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) levels may impact the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Dietary fats that are already shown to be detrimental to heart health may also play a role in the prognosis for prostate cancer.

In a study conducted by researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, it was found that men who have higher levels of DHA had 2.5 times the chance of developing aggressive prostate cancer in comparison to those men with lower levels of DHA.

These surprising results have researchers turning toward the link between nutrition and other types of chronic diseases.

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer or another medical condition that has resulted in disability, you should consult with a Broward County long-term disability attorney. An attorney can evaluate your case to see if you qualify for disability benefits and assist with your claim if you were denied benefits.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve. When a severe medical condition makes it impossible for you to work and you've been denied your long-term disability benefits, an attorney from LaVan & Neidenberg, P.A. can help you to cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
