Biomarker predicts malignancy potential of HG-PIN lesions in the prostate
Men whose prostate cancer screenings show high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PIN) may find themselves in limbo, "stuck" between diagnoses - they are told prostate cancer has not yet developed, but it might, and they are advised to undergo repeated needle biopsies as a... view more (2008-05-01)

New molecules discovered that block cancer cells from modifying cell DNA
Researchers have discovered new small molecules that may prevent prostate cancer cells from turning off normal genes in a process that transforms normal cells into cancer cells.   view more (2007-10-12)

Treatment for early prostate cancer associated with type of specialist seen
A new study analyzing men with localized prostate cancer shows that the specialty of the physician they see can influence the type of therapy they ultimately receive.   view more (2007-06-04)

Exercise may lead to faster prostate tumor growth
Prostate tumors grew more quickly in mice who exercised than in those who did not, leading to speculation that exercise may increase blood flow to tumors, according to a new study by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center (DCCC) and the Duke Prostate Center.   view more (2008-04-14)

Worsening anemia signals poorer outcomes in men treated for advanced prostate cancer
Researchers from the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute and Southwest Oncology Group have identified a new method of determining how men with advanced prostate cancer will respond to treatment.   view more (2006-05-24)

Patients report fewer moderate and serious side effects with IMRT than with brachytherapy
In one of the first studies to compare side effects of IMRT and permanent prostate brachytherapy (I-125) for treatment of low-risk prostate cancer, researchers say patients had fewer moderate and serious side effects when treated with IMRT.   view more (2006-11-08)

Gene markers located for hereditary prostate cancer
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute, Wake Forest University and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have identified an array of gene markers for hereditary prostate cancer that, along with family history for the disease, appear to raise risk to more than nine times that of... view more (2008-01-17)

New male sling procedure helps prostate cancer survivors who suffer from urinary incontinence
Michael Yarborough, a 58-year-old business owner from Waxahachie, Texas, was fortunate. A routine check-up three years ago revealed prostate cancer, but a side effect of his successful surgery was "driving him nuts."   view more (2007-08-29)

Scientists discover way to block growth of prostate cancer cells
Scientists have discovered for the first time a specific biochemical pathway by which the sex hormone, androgen, increases levels of harmful chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the prostate gland that play a role in the development of prostate cancer.   view more (2006-11-08)

UT Southwestern urologists identify seven biomarkers that may help pinpoint prostate cancer recurrence
A simple blood test may help doctors better predict whether prostate cancer will recur or spread in patients who have undergone surgery for the disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found.   view more (2008-06-18)

Rheb's role in cancer
Two independent papers in the August 15th issue of G&D identify the Rheb GTPase as a novel oncogene and a promising new chemotherapeutic target.   view more (2008-08-15)

Recent improvements in prostate cancer outcomes may be result of shift in classification
Some of the improvement in prostate cancer survival rates over the past decade may be due to a shift in the classification of prostate tumors rather than to an actual improvement in outcomes.   view more (2005-09-07)

Prostate cancer therapy may increase risk of death from heart disease in older men
Androgen deprivation therapy-one of the most common treatments for prostate cancer-may increase the risk of death from heart disease in patients over age 65, according to a new study by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital and other institutions.   view more (2007-02-26)

Radiation therapy technique reduces length of prostate cancer treatment
Breihan Bridgewater suffers from emphysema. He sleeps on his side because when he lays flat on his back it feels like there's a boulder resting on his chest.   view more (2007-09-21)

First worldwide analysis of cancer survival finds wide variation between countries
Cancer survival varies widely between countries according to a worldwide study published online today in Lancet Oncology.* More than 100 investigators contributed to the study.   view more (2008-07-17)

Henry Ford Hospital expands research on gene and radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Henry Ford Hospital is embarking on an expanded major clinical trial involving the use of gene therapy in combination with radiation therapy, to determine if the combined treatment is more effective than radiation therapy alone for patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer.   view more (2008-02-07)

Soy compound may halt spread of prostate cancer
A compound found in soybeans almost completely prevented the spread of human prostate cancer in mice, according to a study published in the March 15 issue of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.   view more (2008-03-14)

Research finds antioxidant therapies do not interfere with radiation treatment
Cancer patients can get the vital nutritional benefits from taking antioxidants without the risk of interfering with radiation treatment, according to research findings being presented this weekend at the Society of Integrative Oncology's Third International Conference in Boston.   view more (2006-11-10)

tNOX serves as a serum marker for detection and monitoring of disease progression in prostate cancer
A team of researchers at Purdue University has found a protein in the blood that may prove to be more reliable than the standard prostate specific antigen (PSA) test in measuring the extent of prostate cancer.   view more (2006-09-14)

Study shows prostate cancer vaccine linked to longer survival
A University of California, San Francisco study has found that men with advanced, often untreatable prostate cancer who received a therapeutic cancer vaccine went on to survive longer than those receiving a placebo.   view more (2006-06-30)

Green tea and COX-2 inhibitors combine to slow growth of prostate cancer
Drinking a nice warm cup of green tea has long been touted for its healthful benefits, both real and anecdotal. But now researchers have found that a component of green tea, combined with low doses of a COX-2 inhibitor, could slow the spread of human prostate cancer.   view more (2007-03-01)

Leading researchers to reveal comprehensive dos and don'ts for prostate cancer
