00:00Researchers find possible prostate cancer link to 22 pesticides.

00:05A study finds 22 pesticides linked to prostate cancer risk, with four associated with deaths.

00:12Urologist John Leppert sees it as a starting point for exploring these links, highlighting

00:17the need for further research to guide future studies.

00:25Prostate cancer is common among men and involves uncontrollable cell growth in the prostate.

00:30Risk varies geographically in the U.S.

00:34Researchers suspect pesticides heightened this risk, but past studies were limited, requiring

00:39broader research to confirm these potential links.

00:46Researchers analyzed nearly 300 pesticides and cancer rates in 3,100 counties, finding

00:5322 pesticides associated with increased cancer rates.

00:58They studied periods from 1997 to 2001 and 2002 to 2006, noting a significant correlation

01:07and stressing the need for further research.

01:14Hematuria signals early prostate cancer.

01:17Difficulty using the bathroom arises from prostate compression of the urethra.

01:22Advanced cancer causes pelvic pain and frequent nighttime urination suggests obstruction.

01:27Bone pain may indicate metastasis, necessitating timely evaluation and treatment.
