More than a third of men with early prostate cancer who participated in a study analyzing treatment choice received therapies that might not be appropriate, based on pre-existing problems with urinary, bowel or sexual function.   view more (2007-11-26)

Study finds more PSA screening awareness needed among high-risk groups
In one of the first examinations of PSA screening in younger men, a study published by researchers at Duke Medicine's Prostate Center finds that one-fifth of men under age 50 reported undergoing a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test to detect prostate cancer in the previous year, yet only one in... view more (2008-08-11)

US researchers show cottonseed drug is cancer treatment booster - patient trials now planned
New research has opened up the prospect that gossypol - a drug refined from cottonseed oil and previously tried and abandoned as a male contraceptive - could boost the effectiveness of treatment for prostate tumours and possibly other common cancers as well.   view more (2004-09-29)

Study identifies characteristics of clinicians likely to order inappropriate prostate screenings
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests to screen for prostate cancer are frequently performed among patients for whom the PSA test is not shown to be beneficial, and clinicians with certain characteristics are more likely to order such inappropriate screening tests.   view more (2007-07-10)

Researchers complete first clinical trial of Apatone for cancer treatment
In a significant advancement in the ongoing battle against cancer, a group of researchers from Summa Health System, IC-MedTech and other institutions have completed the first ever FDA-approved human clinical trial of Apatone.   view more (2007-10-08)

Novel regulation of the common tumor suppressor PTEN
PTEN is one of the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor genes. It is an antagonist for many cellular growth, proliferation and survival processes. When mutated or deleted, it causes cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, and brain.   view more (2007-01-12)

Hormonal dietary supplements might promote prostate cancer progression
Hormonal components in over-the-counter dietary supplements may promote the progression of prostate cancer and decrease the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered.    view more (2008-01-16)

Sunlight associated with lower risk of death from breast and colon cancer
Sunlight is associated with a reduced risk of breast and colon cancer, finds research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.   view more (2002-04-02)

Hormonal dietary supplements might promote prostate cancer progression
Hormonal components in over-the-counter dietary supplements may promote the progression of prostate cancer and decrease the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered.   view more (2008-01-15)

Survey reveals ignorance and confusion about cancer amongst the elderly
Elderly Spaniards have very poor knowledge about cancer, its causes, treatment and prevention according to research carried out amongst people living in and around Barcelona. Some even believe that cancer is a contagious disease and that it is a punishment for something bad that the patient has... view more (2007-09-26)

Botox: Its not just for wrinkles anymore
When researchers at the Chang Gung University Medical College, Taiwan and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine injected botulinum toxin A, or Botox, into the prostate gland of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly referred to as enlarged prostate, they found... view more (2006-05-24)

Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients

Integrated approach to radiation therapy provides quality care for cancer patients
Results from a University of Pittsburgh study demonstrate that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) can be uniformly delivered in a large health care system of academic and community cancer centers through a centralized planning and treatment process.   view more (2006-11-08)

Study links education to risk of cancer death
A new American Cancer Society study finds having at least some education beyond high school is associated with a decreased risk of cancer death.   view more (2007-09-12)

COX-2 Inhibitors Significantly Reduce Risk of Cancer
Results from a new, five-year study show that regular use of popular prescription pain relievers may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 71 percent and may offer similar benefit in the prevention of prostate, colon and lung cancers.   view more (2006-04-04)

Profiling of cancer genes may lead to better and earlier detection
A research team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has for the first time identified several genes whose expression is lost in four of the most common solid human cancers - lung, breast, prostate and colon cancer.   view more (2006-12-27)

Omega-6 fats cause prostate tumors to grow twice as fast
Omega-6 fatty acids-such as those found in corn oil-caused human prostate tumors in cell culture to grow twice as quickly as tumors to which omega-6 fats had not been added, according to a study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center.   view more (2006-02-01)

Master regulatory gene of epithelial stem cells identified
The skin's ability to replace the tissue it sloughs off is controlled by a variety of genes. A new study from Harvard Medical School published in the May 4 issue of Cell, however, identifies a "master regulator" of this regeneration process not only for skin, but for many epithelial... view more (2007-05-04)
