Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, especially in men over 50 years old. This condition is diagnosed when a cancerous tumor is found in the prostate, which is a gland present in men and is located below the bladder.

There are different treatment options available, such as radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy. However, there are individuals who might not get optimal results or who simply refuse to undergo these invasive procedures and prefer alternative options. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine might provide answers for these patients.

There are several Chinese herbal remedies that have apparently been effective in different patients, but there is one particular remedy that has recently gained popularity in treating prostate cancer patients. This remedy is known as PC SPES, and it consists of eight different herbs. It is believed to reduce tumor growth in all stages of prostate cancer. Additionally, it has recently been positively referenced in medical articles and by different medical doctors, especially for treatment of advanced and severe prostate cancer. However, this product is sold over-the-counter, so it is not regulated like prescribed medicines, but it is accessible to the general public.

Recent studies have shown that PC SPES can reduce the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is normally in high levels in prostate cancer patients, and even lead to cancer remission. However, despite the positive references, there are growing concerns since PC SPES is believed to possibly cause serious side effects, such as breast enlargement, breast tenderness and blood clots. These are possibly caused by the estrogen-like herbs contained in the product.

PC SPEC seems to be yet another option available to prostate cancer patients. Please consult your doctor.
