Study looks at using the immune system to reduce prostate cancer risk
Immune therapies have been explored as a way to treat cancer after it develops. view more (2009-09-24)
Men with prostate cancer avoid radiation due to misconceptions
Negative perceptions about radiation therapy can strongly influence a prostate cancer patient's choice to avoid external beam radiation therapy, even though studies have proven the treatment to be as safe and effective as other treatments for the disease, including surgery. view more (2006-11-06)
Stress may help cancer cells resist treatment, research shows
Scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that the stress hormone epinephrine causes changes in prostate and breast cancer cells that may make them resistant to cell death. view more (2007-04-11)
Study identifies a common genetic risk factor for colorectal and prostate cancer
A study led by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) has found that one of seven genetic risk factors previously identified as increasing the probability of developing prostate cancer also increases the probability of developing colorectal cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers study breathing during radiation
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have determined exactly how much breathing affects prostate movement during radiation treatment. view more (2008-09-24)
Preventive health exams may provide opportunities for cancer screening
Health plan members who receive preventive health examinations, as opposed to going to a physician only when they are sick, appear more likely to undergo testing for colorectal, breast and prostate cancers. view more (2007-03-27)
Relationship between prostate information and lower urinary-tract symptoms evident
In the December issue of European Urology (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/eururo) Dr. Curtis Nickel and associates report on the evidence of a relationship between prostate inflammation and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men enrolled in the REDUCE trial. view more (2008-11-13)
Surgery reduces mortality in prostate cancer but does not not influence quality of life or overall survival
Two large Scandinavian studies evaluating the long-term effect of prostate cancer treatment are published in The New England Journal of Medicine this week. In the first study, 695 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer were randomised assigned to radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting. The result shows that radical prostatectomy significantly... view more... (2002-09-11)
Prostate cancer therapy increases risk of fractures and cardiovascular-related death
Prostate cancer patients who undergo therapy to decrease testosterone levels increase their risk of developing bone- and heart-related side effects compared to patients who do not take these medications, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-27)
'Muscle' protein drives prostate cancer
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have for the first time implicated the muscle protein myosin VI in the development of prostate cancer and its spread. view more (2006-11-09)
UroGene and Pierre Fabre Médicament sign letter of intent
UroGene S.A. (Evry Génopole - France) and Pierre Fabre Médicament announced today the signature of a letter of intent for a three year collaboration to discover and develop new active compounds against a biological target identified by UroGene in advanced prostate cancer. This target is a cell surface protein which is elevated in... view more... (2002-01-28)
OHSU Cancer Institute research gives hope for chemo holidays for men with advanced prostate cancer
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers, in a first-of-its-kind study, have found that even men with advanced prostate cancer can take a much-needed safe break, or holiday, from chemotherapy. view more (2008-02-26)
Report: Prostate cancer screening has yet to prove its worth
The recent release of two large randomized trials suggests that if there is a benefit of screening, it is, at best, small. view more (2009-06-29)
UCLA researchers identify how antibody blocks prostate cancer growth in animal models
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center have uncovered the mechanism by which an antibody blocks the growth of prostate cancer in animal models, a discovery that could pave the way for development of a new molecularly targeted therapy. view more (2005-10-18)
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)
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)
Researchers find new biomarker for fatal prostate cancer
New research findings out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin may help provide some direction for men diagnosed with prostate cancer about whether their cancer is likely to be life-threatening. view more (2009-02-13)
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)
