PROSTATE CANCER SERIES (p 859)
A four-week series about prostate cancer-the third most common cancer in men worldwide, and the leading male cancer in Europe and North America-begins in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The first article, by Henrik Grönberg of Umea University, Sweden, assesses the epidemiology of prostate... view more (2003-03-05)
Prostate specific antigen: A review of PSA use in screening for prostate cancer
Screening for prostate cancer using prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing continues to be problematic. Even though it is unproven whether population-wide screening with PSA can reduce death, illness or disability from prostate cancer, testing has become common in North America. view more (2007-06-19)
Annual prostate cancer screening test appears to save lives
Men who have a yearly blood test to examine their prostate specific antigen levels are nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who don't have annual screenings. view more (2005-10-20)
PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool. view more (2007-10-10)
Low-risk prostate cancer patients face overtreatment
Many low-risk prostate cancer patients are being overtreated and might fare better if doctors monitored the cancer until treatment was necessary. view more (2006-08-16)
University of Kent Study Aims To Improve Information And Support Needs For Older Men With Prostate Cancer
The Centre for Health Services Studies (CHSS) at the University of Kent is currently engaged in an exploratory study of the information and support needs for men aged 75+ with prostate cancer. view more (2004-11-03)
MR imaging helps predict recurrence in prostate cancer patients
MR images taken of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment that show that the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland capsule help predict whether the cancer will return. view more (2007-05-07)
New prostate cancer marker helps identify men whose cancer is likely to spread
Prostate cancer researchers at Sydney's Garvan Institute, supported by the Cancer Institute NSW, have found a new marker for identifying aggressive prostate cancers. view more (2006-10-04)
Popular Magazines Don't Inform Men About Prostate and Colon Cancer Screening
Decisions about screening for prostate and colon cancer require patients to have accurate, balanced information. Unfortunately, men are not getting this information from popular men's magazines. When articles are available, they often do not provide the information necessary for the reader to make... view more (2004-09-08)
Early warning: PSA testing can predict advanced prostate cancer
Researchers who showed that a single prostate specific antigen (PSA) test at age 50 or under could predict the presence of prostate cancer up to 25 years later, (regardless of clinical significance) have now found that a single PSA can be used to predict advanced prostate cancer. view more (2008-02-15)
Prostate Cancer Survival Benefit From A Combination Of Androgen Suppression And External Irradiation
Disease-free survival from advanced prostate cancer could be almost doubled if hormone-suppression therapy is used during and after radiotherapy for a duration of 3 years, suggest authors of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Long-term survival after radiotherapy for people... view more (2002-07-05)
African-Americans with prostate cancer more likely to have family history of prostate, breast cancer
African-American men with prostate cancer were more likely to report a family history of prostate cancer and breast cancer among siblings than men who did not have prostate cancer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2006-12-04)
PSA test has higher accuracy for patients taking finasteride
Finasteride is a drug prescribed for men whose prostates have become enlarged. The drug decreases prostate swelling and helps men with urinary problems. view more (2006-08-16)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find novel chemo drug helps treat prostate cancer
Men with a certain type of prostate cancer have been shown to respond to a new chemotherapy drug, Sagopilone, plus prednisone in an international trial led by Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers. view more (2008-06-02)
Jefferson scientists find protein potential drug target for treatment-resistant prostate cancer
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have found that a signaling protein that is key to prostate cancer cell growth is turned on in nearly all recurrent prostate cancers that are resistant to hormone therapy. view more (2008-01-02)
3T MRI plays significant role in detecting prostate cancer, study says
The use of MRI without endorectal coil can detect prostate cancer and provide undistorted images with diagnostic image quality and accurate tumor localization, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. view more (2008-04-14)
Research Probes Soy - Prostate Cancer Link
Researchers at the University of Ulster and Belfast City Hospital are set to launch a groundbreaking study that could offer a new insight into the prevention of prostate cancer. The study will focus on a significant link between low levels of serious prostate cancer and the presence of soy... view more (2002-07-30)
Men with prostate cancer want screening despite doubts over effectiveness of treatment
Most men with prostate cancer strongly advocate routine testing for prostate specific antigen (PSA), despite evidence that aggressive screening and treatment does not reduce deaths, according to two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, researchers at the University of Oxford interviewed... view more (2002-10-02)
Radiation seeds effectively cure prostate cancer in young men
Radiation seed implants (brachytherapy) are just as effective at curing prostate cancer in younger men (aged 60 and younger) as they are in older men. view more (2007-10-30)
Largest PSA bounce study eases worry of prostate cancer returning
Prostate cancer patients who have a temporary rise in their prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiation therapy-called a PSA bounce-are not at an increased risk of their cancer coming back any more than those who don't have a temporary rise. view more (2006-11-09)
US prostate cancer deaths down one third in men aged 50-74: Europe following?
Copenhagen, Denmark: New findings presented today (Tuesday 23 September) at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference, show that US prostate cancer mortality rates, which had been increasing slowly during the 1970s and 1980s, suddenly started to fall rapidly during the 1990s. view more (2003-09-21)
FATTY FISH CONSUMPTION COULD REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER RISK
Consumption of fatty fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, report the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Essential fatty acids - especially omega-3 fatty acids contained in large amounts in fatty fish - have previously... view more (2001-05-31)
Prostate cancer patients see high survival rates with seed implants
More than ninety percent of men who receive appropriate radiation dose levels with permanent radiation seed implants to treat their prostate cancer are cured of their cancer eight years after diagnosis. view more (2007-02-01)
Potential prostate cancer treatment improvements discovered by researchers at Cedars-Sinai
In a study to be published in the April, 2006 issue of the British Journal of Urology International, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown that Raloxifene, a drug commonly used to treat osteoporosis, has a potential clinical benefit in treating men with prostate cancer. view more (2006-03-22)
Just hours apart, 2 brothers undergo robotic prostate cancer surgery
