Adding life to the years... and Age is just a number



In males, advancing age is the most important risk factor for Prostate Cancer. As you grow older there is a high chance of prostate problems and cancer is also common.

If you want to enjoy your life, age is not a barrier.

Hormone therapy is one of the treatment modalities for prostate cancer. Testosterone helps prostate cancer cells to grow fast. Cutting off the supply of testosterone may cause cancer cells to die or to grow slowly.

Mr. Ajit Kumar Mukherjee, an 88 years old man from Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, was diagnosed with prostate cancer, we started hormone therapy to get relief from urinary instruction and control the spread of the cancer to other parts of the body.

Now he is having a healthy and happy life and even at this age, he is enjoying what he loved to do that is singing. He is now on regular follow up and we feel extremely happy for him. Life is full of melody.
