Algo ainda em ensaios com um enorme potencial (dado que todas as opções actuais envolvem riscos elevadíssimos de efeitos secundários terríveis para os homens - impotência e incontinência):

Citando:
"The new treatment uses a drug, made from bacteria that live in the almost total darkness of the seafloor and which become toxic only when exposed to light.
Ten fibre optic lasers are inserted through the perineum - the gap between the anus and the testes - and into the cancerous prostate gland.
When the red laser is switched on, it activates the drug to kill the cancer and leaves the healthy prostate behind."

Citando:
"The mice who were treated with NMN gained less weight, converted food into energy more quickly, and had better blood sugar levels than the animals who were not given the compound.

The reduced risk of age-related diseases led researchers to speculate that consuming foods with NMN could potentially lead to longer life spans for humans. Researchers at Keio University in Tokyo have launched a study on humans by giving the participants supplements of NMN in pill form."
