Reduction of Prostate Cancer Risk: Role of Frequent Ejaculation-Associated Mechanisms

April 1, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Prostate

Comment: The “prostate stagnation” mechanism is biologically plausible for clearing environmental endocrine disruptors, yet it fails to move the needle on high-grade malignancy. The findings are unequivocal that higher ejaculations per month effectively lowers the risk for low-grade disease, likely by hindering the metabolic switch from citrate secretion to oxidation. However this protection does not […]

Ejaculation Frequency and Prostate Cancer Risk: A Narrative Review of Current Evidence

March 31, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Prostate

Comment: This review shows that while broad sexual behaviors offer no clear signal, ejaculation demonstrates a robust protective effect against low-grade disease. The “Prostate Stagnation Hypothesis”— says that the mechanical purging of chemical carcinogens and intraluminal crystalloids provides a credible defense. The evidence suggests a high-utility threshold: men reporting ≥ 21 ejaculations per month throughout adulthood […]

Updated dose–response meta-analysis of sexual activity and prostate cancer risk

March 30, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Prostate

Comment: This updated meta-analysis shows the failure of “sexual activity”—when broadly defined by intercourse frequency (OR = 1.02)—to provide any credible oncological signal, contrasted against the robust protective effect of mechanical prostatic clearance. The findings are unequivocal: while most sexual behaviors are statistical artifacts, ejaculation frequency demonstrates a statistically significant protective effect (OR = 0.83). […]

| Cancer - Breast, Mammography - Mammogram, Screening

Comment: This prospective cohort is the initial study on false-positive mammograms later followed up about a decade later is this study. The data is staggering: six months after receiving a final benign diagnosis, meaning knowing the original finding was false and that they were now ‘normal’, women with false alarms reported negative changes in existential […]

Prevalence, Long-term Development, and Predictors of Psychosocial Consequences of False-Positive Mammography among Women Attending Population-Based Screening

March 15, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Breast, Mammography - Mammogram, Screening

Comment: This is another paper solidifying the serious cost of a common issue with screening mammograms – the high rate of false positives. When comparing healthy women subjected to a false positive against those with normal screens, the recalled cohort faced massive initial spikes in dejection (OR 15.52) and anxiety (OR 11.09). While it is […]

Psychological distress in U.S. women who have experienced false-positive mammograms

March 15, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Breast, Mammography - Mammogram, Screening

Comment: A true risk-benefit analysis of any intervention should take into account all of the risks, including the psycho-emotional. This cross-sectional study is another that highlights the stark conflict between the conventional narrative of risk-free surveillance and the documented reality of its psychiatric fallout. We know from other studies that I’ve reviewed of the significant […]

Long-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive screening mammography: a cohort study with follow-up of 12–14 years in Denmark

March 15, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Breast, Mammography - Mammogram, Screening

Comment: There are multiple studies in the literature showing lasting psychological damage from a false positive mammogram requiring a follow-up to establish that it’s benign, but this one is notable for the longest follow-up period. For those advocating screening, the reality is that the resulting false alarms inflict decade-long psychological damage. Knowing that 20% to […]

The Effect of False-positive Mammograms on Antidepressant and Anxiolytic Initiation

March 14, 2026
| No Comments
| Cancer - Breast, Mammography - Mammogram, Screening

Comment: We should assess risk and benefits of any intervention not only by the physical impact, but by the measurable psychological damage it inflicts. The claims data analysis highlights the conflict between the medical establishment’s routine dismissal of a false-positive mammogram as a benign inconvenience and the structural reality that it actively drives patients toward […]
