An herbal supplements remedy is showing striking results in treating patients with advanced prostate cancer, even winning support from doctors despite a lack of federal oversight. The blend of eight herbal supplements, used by an estimated 10,000 men and sold over the counter, appears to reduce signs of tumor growth in patients who have exhausted all conventional treatments, according to studies in two well-regarded medical journals. The new studies, including one by Katz, on the effect of the herbal supplements are almost certain to spark widespread demand. Almost 180,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States, with 40,000 deaths.
