Is Prostate Cancer Inherited Genetically?

There are many factors that believed to increase the risk to get prostate cancer; some of them are genetics, diet, age, race, lifestyle, obesity and Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). 

From genetic view point, prostate cancer is highly heritable; the inherited risk of prostate cancer has been estimated to be as high as 60%. 

Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are highly probably coming from close relative (a father or a brother) with prostate cancers. 

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (2016) suggested that a man with one close relative with prostate cancer is twice as likely to develop cancer.

Then, If two close male relatives are affected, the risk of developing prostate cancer is increased five-fold compared to man with no family members diagnosed.

There are several hundred genes implicate to different stages of Prostate Cancer. 

Maqungo et al, (2011) informed that South African National Bioinformatics Institute, University of the Western Cape has developed database called as Dragon Database of Genes associated with Prostate Cancer (DDPC). 

Data were collected from sources of around the world. Some of genes connected to prostate cancers are BRCA1, BRCA2, and HOXB13. 

If these genes have mutated due to un-known reasons, men will have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer and, in some cases, other cancers during their lifetimes.

What is Final Speech in the Film of “The Great Dictator” About?

I am interesting to review a little bit of “The Great Dictator” final speech of Charlie Chaplin. The speech is part of a film based on story that written and directed, then produced by Charles Chaplin, one of great actor ever. 

You may guess the dictator, that is Hitler who reigned the Germany with tragedy of humanity, all victims are estimated around 17 millions

The final speech of actor is promising speech, contradicting to misery of dictatorship where a lot of respect people feel unhappy live in a tyranny country; the land of hateful that crushed human soul. 

The army patrolled the street and come house to house. The Jews were searched for cruelly beaten and persecuted. The lucky ones were fleeing and hiding in neighboring countries. 

Moreover, at final speech, Charles Chaplin mentioned that where hate always found everywhere on earth. Any country, race, religion and even sexual orientation may “produce” hate and disrespect to each other. 

Hate poisoned life that lead to sadness, unkindness and even bloodshed war. 

It is proven by historical time that great speeches such as done by Charles Chaplin can overcome the hate and oppression. 

Many leaders made great speeches that contributed to better way of thinking and life in societies. 

The leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr talking about dream of equality. Then, this speech has changed the political life in the USA.
