New test detects prostate cancer spread at the earliest time
A new prognostic test can help determine whether a prostate cancer patient will go on to have a recurrence of the disease, even if surrounding lymph nodes initially appear negative for cancer.   view more (2006-06-21)

Can pomegranates prevent prostate cancer? A new study offers promise
The juice of the pomegranate, say researchers at University of Wisconsin Medical School, shows major promise to combat prostate cancer-the most common invasive cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men.   view more (2005-09-27)

UC Davis researchers identify a cellular pathway that makes prostate cancer fatal
Expanding evidence that tiny strands of RNA - called microRNAs - play big roles in the progress of some cancers, UC Davis researchers have identified one that helps jump start prostate cancer cell growth midway through the disease process, eventually causing it to become fatal.   view more (2007-11-28)

Experimental agent blocks prostate cancer in animal study
An experimental drug has blocked the progression of prostate cancer in an animal model with an aggressive form of the disease, new research shows.   view more (2008-05-23)

More than 6 months of hormone therapy doesn't help prostate cancer patients live longer
Prostate cancer patients treated with either radiation or surgery who use hormone therapy for longer than six months do not survive any longer than patients who use the treatment for a shorter amount of time.   view more (2006-11-06)

Common osteoporosis treatment may help men with prostate cancer suffering from bone loss
Men with prostate cancer who experience bone loss from cancer treatment could benefit from a weekly oral therapy commonly given to women with osteoporosis.   view more (2006-02-27)

Should older men be screened for prostate cancer?
Screening for prostate cancer in older men has been problematic. While this form of cancer can be fatal, it often progresses so slowly that men are more likely to die from some other disease. Aggressive treatments such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy may eradicate the cancer but have... view more (2006-05-02)

Elevated biomarkers predict risk for prostate cancer recurrence
A simple blood test screening for a panel of biomarkers can accurately predict whether a patient who has had prostate cancer surgery will have a recurrence or spread of the disease.   view more (2008-06-26)

Overweight and obese men have lower PSA values, even before they get prostate cancer
Men who are overweight or obese have lower concentrations of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in their blood than their normal-weight counterparts, according to a new study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers.   view more (2008-02-20)

Genetic marker linked to aggressive prostate cancer
Northwestern University researchers have discovered that a recently identified genetic marker for prostate cancer is linked to a highly aggressive form of the disease.   view more (2007-05-21)

Study implicates protein as a trigger of advanced prostate cancer recurrence
Scientists with the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have for the first time implicated a growth-promoting cellular protein as one trigger of the inevitable recurrence of advanced prostate cancer in men who are undergoing drug treatment to... view more (2007-05-09)

Prostate disease and fear of GPs
Men delay seeking help about symptoms of prostate disease because they believe GPs have negative attitudes toward them. Men also feel the available health information about prostate disease is `negative`. This is the finding of a study reported today, Friday 6 September 2002, at The British... view more (2002-09-02)

Vitamin D protects cells from stress that can lead to cancer
By inducing a specific gene to increase expression of a key enzyme, vitamin D protects healthy prostate cells from the damage and injuries that can lead to cancer, University of Rochester Medical Center researchers report.   view more (2008-05-14)

Flavonoids may inhibit prostate cancer
Previous studies have suggested that increased intake of flavonoids which are common in fruits and vegetables may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.   view more (2005-10-21)

Study raises questions about prostate cancer therapies targeting IGF-1
Therapies under development to treat prostate cancer by inhibiting the ability of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to activate its target receptor could have unexpected results especially if a major tumor suppressor gene - p53 - is already compromised, according to new research by investigators... view more (2008-05-01)

Prostate cancer screening: a suitable case for ethical treatment, says Dutch specialist
Men should be informed about the controversy over prostate cancer screening before having a test, ECCO 11 - the European Cancer Conference was told today (Thursday 25 October) in Lisbon.   view more (2001-10-22)

Curry and cauliflower could halt prostate cancer
Rutgers researchers have found that the curry spice turmeric holds real potential for the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer, particularly when combined with certain vegetables.   view more (2006-01-16)

World-famous cancer specialist links hormones to organ growth
New work from internationally renowned cancer specialist Dr Judah Folkman indicates that organ size can be controlled by hormones. This important new finding may have implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including endometriosis, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and prostate... view more (2000-03-07)

Reducing intake of dietary fat prevents prostate cancer in mice
Scientists with UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and the Department of Urology have showed that lowering intake of the type of fat common in a Western diet helps prevent prostate cancer in mice, the first finding of its kind in a mouse model that closely mimics human cancer, researchers said.   view more (2008-05-15)

Obesity at time of prostate-cancer diagnosis dramatically increases risk of dying from the disease
Obese men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have more than two-and-a-half times the risk of dying from the disease as compared to men of normal weight at the time of diagnosis, according to a study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.   view more (2007-03-15)

Obesity in prostate cancer patients predicts cancer recurrence and progression
Obesity in a patient is an independent predictor of whether localized prostate cancer will progress following radiotherapy treatment, say researchers at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.   view more (2006-06-27)

Nutrients in certain vegetables may provide cancer-fighting benefit
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to not only stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice but also may cut off the formation of blood vessels that "feed" tumors.   view more (2007-04-18)

Cialis improves sexual function for prostate cancer survivors
In the first randomized trial of its kind, Tadalafil, a drug typically prescribed for erectile dysfunction in men, has been proven to increase the sexual function of prostate cancer survivors.   view more (2006-10-03)

Sensitive and specific biomarker for early detection of prostate cancer identified
Scientists at a Maryland-based pharmaceutical company have preliminary evidence showing that a protein in the blood may prove to be a biomarker that is more sensitive and specific than current methods of early detection for prostate cancer.   view more (2006-09-14)

Prostate cancer research may be faster with PSA endpoints
A new study from Columbia University Medical Center researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia, who are members of the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), suggests that certain changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may serve as surrogate endpoints for prostate cancer survival.   view more (2006-04-19)
