NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Obesity, rather than diabetes, increases
the risk that men being treated for locally advanced prostate cancer
will die from the cancer, researchers report.

Obesity is known to be associated with an increased prostate cancer
mortality risk -- and most men with diabetes are obese. Therefore,
diabetes has been thought to be the underlying condition "responsible
for greater risk of death from prostate cancer," Dr. Matthew R. Smith
explained to Reuters Health.

However, he said, "In this study, we demonstrate that increased body
weight, but not diabetes, is associated with greater prostate cancer
mortality."

Check the sites I posted to the tomato juice thread. If I remember
correctly, one of them says that diabetes actually makes prostate
cancer less likely.
