For men younger than 50 with prostate cancer, undergoing a radical prostatectomy can greatly increase their chances for long-term survival, according to a new study from Henry Ford Hospital. view more (2009-05-11)
MR imaging accurately determines prostate cancer treatment failure
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) plus diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can accurately diagnose residual or recurrent prostate cancer in patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasonic ablation, a new study shows. view more (2008-05-20)
PSA predicts treatment success in advanced prostate cancer
A test used to detect prostate cancer can also help doctors know when treatment is working. view more (2006-08-24)
Success rates for prostate cancer depend on experience of surgeon
Surgeons performing operations to remove patients' prostate glands-the primary treatment for prostate cancer-go through a steep learning curve, according to a study published online July 24 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-07-25)

DEFINITIVE STUDY OF CANCER WAITING TIMES SUGGESTS MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR NHS
The paper, by Spurgeon, Barwell and Kerr at the University of Birmingham, will provide valuable baseline data which can be used to set targets for improvement in cancer services. The authors invited all English acute hospital trusts to submit data on new patients diagnosed with cancer during October 1997. They received data from 98 per cent of the... view more... (2000-03-13)
Dr. Arun Sreekumar lectures on new candidate biomarker at Annual EAU Congress
The standard Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer cannot tell the difference between aggressive and slow-growing forms. view more (2009-03-10)
Health risk behaviors associated with lower prostate specific antigen awareness
According to a study conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, health risk behaviors such as smoking and obesity are associated with lower awareness of the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), which could lead to a lower likelihood of undergoing actual prostate cancer screening. view more (2008-08-28)
Guided radiation therapy for prostate cancer prevents damage to surrounding organs
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that highly targeted radiation therapy for prostate cancer can ensure that the majority of persons with this tumor will not have any long-term rectal damage. view more (2007-10-29)
Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
More prostate cancer screening has little effect on detection of aggressive cancer
More prostate cancers were detected among men who were screened every two years than men screened every four years, according to a study published online August 28 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-08-29)
Vegetables inhibit growth of prostate cancer in mice with human tumors
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice by affecting the expression of proteins. view more (2006-04-05)
Obesity, history of weight gain could help predict prostate cancer progression
How heavy a man is at the time he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, as well as his history of weight gain, appear to play significant roles in how aggressive his cancer may become, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-10-03)
Older men with early prostate cancer survived longer with treatment vs. observation
A new study shows older men with early stage prostate cancer survive longer if they are treated versus not being treated in favor of the "watchful waiting" approach advocated by many physicians for older men with other health problems. view more (2006-02-27)
New Approach for Treating Recurrent Prostate Cancer on the Horizon
A new study shows that an alpha-particle emitting radiopeptide-radioactive material bound to a synthetic peptide, a component of protein-is effective for treating prostate cancer in mice. view more (2009-06-16)
New classification better identifies prostate cancer patients to benefit from hormone therapy
A new classification system for evaluating men after radiation treatment for prostate cancer better determines which men may recur and thus may benefit from hormone therapy. view more (2006-11-09)
UNC expert: Better decision support tools needed for prostate cancer screening choice
Although screening for prostate cancer with the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test in men ages 50-70 can detect the cancer before it becomes symptomatic, knowing whether screening is beneficial for these men is uncertain. view more (2009-09-29)
Prostate cancer gives a new outlook on life
