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)
New treatment hope for prostate cancer
Scientists at Melbourne's Burnet Institute have developed a potential new treatment for patients with prostate cancer. An article, which described the invention, has recently been published in the prestigious international journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-02-06)
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 products in the diet. Professor Ian Rowland, from the... 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 52 men with suspected or confirmed prostate... view more... (2002-10-02)
Predicting higher risk for prostate cancer diagnosis
High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) carries a high predictive value for future diagnosis of prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-27)
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)
Routine evaluation of prostate size not as effective in cancer screening, Mayo study finds
New Mayo Clinic research studied the association between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and prostate size and found that routine annual evaluation of prostate growth is not necessarily a predictor for the development of prostate cancer. view more (2009-11-11)
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 proved to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer... 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)
Hormone therapy may confer more aggressive properties to prostate tumours
Hormone therapy is often given to patients with advanced prostate cancer. view more (2009-06-11)
Younger men with advanced prostate cancer have shorter survival times
While young men with prostate cancer have a low risk of dying early, those with advanced forms of cancer do not live as long as older men with similar forms of the disease. view more (2009-05-22)
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)
Urologist plays key role in determining use of hormone therapy in prostate cancer
The urologist a patient sees may be a more important factor than the tumor characteristics or the patient's other characteristics in determining the use of hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. view more (2006-06-21)
Just hours apart, 2 brothers undergo robotic prostate cancer surgery
"We are blessed to have each other to depend on. If you have to go through something bad like cancer, you're glad to have a friend to go through it with," said one of two brothers from Savannah, Georgia recovering from robotic prostate cancer surgery. view more (2008-01-18)
Blocking protein kills prostate cancer cells, inhibits tumor growth, Jefferson scientists find
Researchers at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have shown that they can effectively kill prostate cancer cells in both the laboratory and in experimental animal models by blocking a signaling protein that is key to the cancer's growth. view more (2008-02-28)
Height linked to risk of prostate cancer development and progression
A man's height is a modest marker for risk of prostate cancer development, but is more strongly linked to progression of the cancer, say British researchers who conducted their own study on the connection and also reviewed 58 published studies. view more (2008-09-03)
Vitamin E, selenium and soy in combination does not prevent prostate cancer
The combination therapy of vitamin E, selenium and soy does not prevent the progression from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) to prostate cancer, according to the new research presented at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). view more (2009-04-27)
Hormone therapy before radiation seed implants for prostate cancer
Men over 70 years of age with early-stage prostate cancer have 20 percent higher mortality if they are treated first with hormone therapy before being treated with radiation seed implants (brachytherapy), compared to men who are treated with brachytherapy alone. view more (2008-09-23)
