| Speaker to discuss prostate cancer
Aaron Katz is known for using high-tech procedures to treat prostate cancer. But he is fascinated, too, by some of the simplest approaches to the disease. Katz will talk about both during a Sept. 27 visit to Wichita. He'll talk about traditional methods like radiation and surgery, he said by telephone, and about alternative ideas such as herbal remedies. Katz is associate professor and vice chairman of urology at Columbia University in New York. He also is director of its Center for Holistic Urology. His visit is sponsored by GreenAcres Market. His talk, at 7 p.m. at the Wichita Marriott, is free; reservations are requested. Prostate cancer no longer is just an old man's disease, he said. "Older men do get it, but we've seen a downward progression in age." To prevent prostate cancer, Katz recommends a low-fat diet, green tea, vitamin E, selenium and lycopene.
