What Are Penis Cancer Risks Factors?

Penis Cancer: The Cancer that No One Wants to Talk About
A verdict was finally announced in the trial of the doctor who removed a Kentucky man’s penis during a routine circumcision and many are left wondering just how common penis cancer is and what kind of screening is available so that they do not have to worry about finding themselves in a similar situation.

When Phillip Seaton checked in for a routine circumcision to relieve swelling neither he nor his doctor could have imagined that a cancer diagnosis penis amputation and a full blown media circus were in their future. While many can sympathize with the trauma of waking up to find an intimate part of your anatomy missing it might be that impromptu surgery that saved Phillip Seaton’s life. Perhaps the biggest question is why wasn’t this cancer diagnosed sooner?

Though rare in the U.S. the American Cancer Society estimates that 320 men will die this year from penis carcinoma and another 1,360 cases will be diagnosed. Doctors often times find treating this type of cancer difficult as in about half of the cases treatment is delayed due reluctance, whether out of fear or embarrassment, to consult with a doctor. This delay can allow localized cancer to spread and ultimately lead to partial or complete amputation.

Every cancer has its own unique set of risk factors and penis cancer is no exception. While these risk factors make a man more likely to develop penile cancer it can also appear in someone with no risk factors at all.

Workout Update

Due to my heavy work schedule I have not been keeping my promise to my blog readers about frequent updates. In fact, I am up at 5:30 AM each morning in order to fit a daily workout in! It's difficult, especially by Thursday & Friday morning after many days in a row of this routine, but it's well worth it! I will be posting some recent pics of my physique very soon. I am up about 5 lbs (and just as lean!) since my last pic posted in Feb, 2010.



I have been training all bodyparts each workout for several months and getting results! I noticed that my muscles are much harder and denser than before using a traditional spilt routine. Keep in mind that this workout flies in the face of any routine you have ever tried, heard about or read about in magazines. All online and magazine articles preach REST, RECOVERY, OVERTRAINING! Yada, yada, yada!

Trust me on this one....Forget that poppy-cock! For the next 6 weeks I want you to swear off the fitness magazines at the news stand. Swear off the online routines ghost-written by the Mr Universes of the World. Follow these steps:



1) Train a minimum of four days per week and ideally five days. Take a day off in the middle of the week and then take a day off on the Sabbath...alternately take weekends off, training Monday-Friday.



2) pick one exercise per bodypart and train each bodypart in succession, supersetting antagonistic muscle groups (ex. chest & back, triceps & biceps, etc) throughout the workout to maintain a high level of intensity AND to keep that heartrate extremely high.



3) Arrange your bodypasts in this order: Back/Chest, Triceps/Biceps, Shoulder/Calf, Quad/Hamstring....Finish workout off with an ab exercise and then perform 15-20 min. of cardio at the very end



4) Purchase a BCAA powder (Branch Chain Amino Acid) at a major healthfood chain (I use Vitamin Shop and I purchase a product called "Modern BCAA")...and mix two scoops in a shaker bottle with water and drink it down IMMEDIATELY after your final set but prior to cardio



5) I weighed 187 lbs this morning upon rising and I comsume 200 grams of protein per day and I highly recommend you do the same by keeping your protein intake high. At least 1 gram per lb. of bodyweight. I drink two high protein shakes (50 grams of whey isolate protein) per day along with regular solid meals (eggs and meats for proein source at meal time) and I snack on peanuts which are high in protein.



6)I try to get 7 hours of sleep during the week and 9 hours of sleep on the weekends. I am usually able to sneak a nap in once per week as well.



7)Take a high quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement as take extra vitamin D3 and B complex vitamins. Also, I take 4 grams of fish oil per day (rather high in DHA and EPA per capsule).



8) take pics of yourself before tryign this program and again 6 weeks later.



9) if your goal is to get leaner keep your starchy foods to a minimum.....your carbohydrates should be derived from vegetables and fruits (apples, grapes, oranges, NO bananas or pineapples!). For bread buy La Tortilla Factory's Low Carb/High Fiber tortillas....I wrap some Boars Head lean ham and turkey with a slice of cheese a tomato and some Romaine and that's a healthy low carb wrap!). The only bread I eat is Ezekiel bread.
