Scientists discover anti-cancer mechanism that arrests early prostate cancer
Prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death for men in the United States, is caused by changes in several tummor suppressor genes including PTEN and p53.   view more (2005-08-04)

Inhibiting cell process may give cancer drug a boost
A molecule that interferes with the internal scaffolding that shapes the cell may kill cancer cells, retard the growth of tumors and give a boost to a common chemotherapy drug.   view more (2006-05-04)

Too much calcium in blood may increase risk of fatal prostate cancer
Men who have too much calcium in their bloodstreams may have an increased risk of fatal prostate cancer, according to a new analysis from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin.   view more (2008-09-03)

Treating prostate cancer in elderly men associated with longer survival, compared to non-treatment
New findings from an observational study suggest that elderly men who received treatment for localized prostate cancer survived significantly longer than men who did not receive treatment.   view more (2006-12-13)

International research team identifies gene that promotes prostate cancer
Together with an international research team, researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed an effective method for the screening and identification of genes that under normal conditions suppress cancer growth. The method enabled the discovery of a new cancer gene, which,... view more (2004-11-24)

A low-carb diet may stunt prostate tumor growth
A diet low in carbohydrates may help stunt the growth of prostate tumors, according to a new study led by Duke Prostate Center researchers.   view more (2007-11-14)

Newer approach urged in screening for aggressive prostate cancer
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine say that how fast the amount of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in a man's blood increases, or PSA velocity (PSAV), is an accurate gauge of tumor aggression and danger, even when PSA levels are so low as to not warrant a biopsy.   view more (2006-11-01)

Researchers publish largest genome-wide study of prostate cancer in African American men
Researchers from 14 institutions across the country today announced the results of the first genome-wide linkage study of prostate cancer in African Americans. Using genetic markers, researchers identified several regions of the human genome that likely contain genes that, when altered, increase... view more (2006-10-12)

FDA finds no strong link between tomatoes and reduced cancer risk
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review has found only limited evidence for an association between eating tomatoes and a decreased risk of certain cancers.   view more (2007-07-11)

Study: No effects of type II diabetes on aggressiveness of prostate cancer; long-term survival worse
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center found no effects of type II diabetes on aggressiveness of prostate cancer but found that long-term survival is worse.   view more (2005-10-17)

Breast cancer gene increases risk of several cancers in men
A genetic mutation implicated in an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers also significantly increases the risk of pancreatic and prostate cancers in men, finds research in the Journal of Medical Genetics.   view more (2005-09-02)

Hormone inhibitor promising for hard-to-treat prostate cancer
For prostate cancer patients whose tumors have continued to grow despite medical or surgical castration, a new drug candidate that inhibits production of male hormones anywhere in the body is showing promise in early trials.   view more (2007-07-09)

Prostate cancer therapy linked to increased risk of heart disease death
The use of androgen deprivation therapy to treat localized prostate cancer is associated with an increased risk of death from heart disease.   view more (2007-10-10)

Scientists design a PSA-activated protoxin that kills prostate cancer
Scientists have found a way of using a protein made by prostate cancer to target and kill the cancer cells themselves. In preliminary studies the new therapy affected only the prostate, without causing damage to other healthy tissues, and now it is being tested in a phase I clinical trial.   view more (2006-11-10)

USC scientists link variations in growth-factor gene to risk of prostate cancer
Two variations in the gene for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) are linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer.   view more (2006-01-18)

Sometimes no treatment is the right option for low-risk prostate cancer
When Houston restaurateur Tony Masraff was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, his life was packed with dancing, running marathons, playing tennis, gardening, leading a successful business and spending time with his family.   view more (2006-03-24)

Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease.   view more (2008-02-04)

Active compounds found in Ganoderma lucidum fungus with potential to treat prostate cancer
A new development in the fight against cancer: Recent research at the University of Haifa found that molecules found in common fungus Ganoderma lucidum aid in suppressing some of the mechanisms involved in the progression of prostate cancer.   view more (2007-12-12)

Program could ease treatment decisions for prostate cancer patients
A Web-based program that provides prostate cancer patients with information about different treatment approaches may make deciding which path to follow a little easier, Medical College of Georgia researchers say.   view more (2007-05-16)

Tell me the size of your waist and I will tell you if you are in risk of prostate cancer
Visceral fat, which is the fat found around our organs, is associated with increased danger of prostate cancer say scientists in today issue of Obesity Research.   view more (2005-02-03)

Mayo Clinic Cancer Center finds better predictors for outcomes after radical prostatectomy
In the largest study of its kind to date, Mayo Clinic researchers report that prostate specific antigen (PSA) kinetics, both velocity and doubling time, can be used to predict disease progression and likelihood of death after radical prostatectomy surgery.   view more (2005-11-14)

Prevent prostate cancer with antioxidants? Gene pathway may reveal more clues
Scientists from Maryland and New Jersey have identified a molecular pathway in mice that makes prostate cells vulnerable to cancer-causing oxygen damage. The pathway, which is also involved in human prostate cancer, may help determine how and whether antioxidants, such as certain vitamins or their... view more (2005-09-16)

Increasing Incidence of Prostate Cancer: A Matter of Early Detection?
Over the past five decades, the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Western industrialized nations has been rising - and the cancer is diagnosed at ever younger ages of the patients.This increase is at least partly due to early detection screenings that have been introduced, as is shown... view more (2005-01-13)

Radiation therapy prolongs life in men with recurrent prostate cancer
Men whose tumors recur after prostate cancer surgery are three times more likely to survive their disease long term if they undergo radiotherapy within two years of the recurrence.   view more (2008-06-18)

Veterans exposed to Agent Orange have higher rates of prostate cancer recurrence
Veterans exposed to Agent Orange have a 48 percent increased risk of prostate cancer recurrence following surgery than their unexposed peers, and when the disease comes back, it seems more aggressive, researchers say.   view more (2007-05-21)
