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
Today at the Prostate Cancer Foundation's Annual Scientific Retreat, researchers will share new findings on how eating common foods such as tomatoes and fish, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding meats cooked at high temperatures may help prevent prostate cancer, and help men live healthier... view more (2007-10-15)

UCLA study shows altering fatty acid levels in diet may reduce prostate cancer growth rate
UCLA researchers found that altering the fatty acid ratio found in the typical Western diet to include more omega-3 fatty acids and decrease the amount of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce prostate cancer tumor growth rates and PSA levels.   view more (2006-08-01)

Researchers find better prostate cancer indicators
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have narrowed the search for effective prostate cancer biomarkers (genetic variations that point to a specific disease or condition), identifying changes in the expression of genes of the whole genome closely correlated to prostate cancer development and progression.   view more (2006-03-28)

UGA study finds common component of fruits, vegetables kills prostate cancer cells
A new University of Georgia study finds that pectin, a type of fiber found in fruits and vegetables and used in making jams and other foods, kills prostate cancer cells.   view more (2007-08-21)

Men continue to have normal life after radiation for prostate cancer
Men receiving radiation therapy to combat early-stage prostate cancer are still able to achieve an erection and face a low rate of incontinence one year following treatment, according to a new study published in the July 15, 2005 issue of the International Journal of Radiation... view more (2005-07-18)

OHSU Cancer Institute finds that drug stimulated immune system in prostate cancer
In a multi-site study, Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a drug called Ipilimumab, also known as MDX-010, works to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight prostate cancer. The drug was found to be effective in study participants with a... view more (2008-06-03)

Study reveals inaccuracies in studies of cancer treatment
Certain biases may exist in observational studies that compare outcomes of different cancer therapies, making the results questionable.   view more (2008-04-21)

Counting tumor cells in blood predicts treatment benefit in prostate cancer
Counting the number of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer can accurately predict how well they are responding to treatment, new results show.   view more (2008-07-07)

Potential association of type 2 diabetes genes with prostate cancer
Scientists have identified six new genes which play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, and among the group is the second gene known to also play a role in prostate cancer.   view more (2008-03-31)

High-dose radiation reduces risk of prostate cancer recurrence
Men with localized prostate cancer who received high-dose external radiation therapy were less likely to have cancer recurrence than men who received conventional-dose radiation therapy.   view more (2005-09-14)

Invasive methods unnecessary for prostate cancer radiation therapy treatment planning
Modern 3-D computed tomography (CT) is an effective method for locating the prostatic apex for radiation therapy treatment planning in prostate cancer patients because it eliminates the need for an invasive procedure and the related side effects.   view more (2008-05-21)

Worried about prostate cancer? Tomato-broccoli combo shown to be effective
A new University of Illinois study shows that tomatoes and broccoli—two vegetables known for their cancer-fighting qualities—are better at shrinking prostate tumors when both are part of the daily diet than when they're eaten alone.   view more (2007-01-16)

Drug slows prostate tumor growth by keeping vitamin A active
A novel compound that blocks the breakdown of retinoic acid, derived from vitamin A, is a surprisingly effective and "promiscuous" agent in treating animal models of human prostate cancer, say investigators from the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).   view more (2007-11-07)

New imaging method shows whether treatment for advanced prostate cancer is working
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a new imaging technique that can measure the effectiveness of treatment for prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. The technique involves measuring diffusion of water within tumors.   view more (2007-04-16)

Disparities in prostate cancer treatment suggest ways to improve care
Quality of care varies greatly for the treatment of men with early-stage prostate cancer by region of the country and category of health care facility, suggesting the potential for improved patient outcomes with more standard treatment protocols.   view more (2008-08-04)

Inflammation may play role in metastasis of prostate cancer
Many would assume that "mounting an immune response" or "having your body fight the cancer" is a good thing. Now, research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine strongly suggests that inflammation associated with the progression of tumors actually... view more (2007-03-19)

Jefferson radiation oncologists use real-time system to plant 'seeds' against cancer
Radiation oncologists and urologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia have begun using a real-time system to implant radiation-emitting seeds in prostate cancer patients.   view more (2007-09-24)

PSA screening may be biased against obese men, leading to more aggressive cancers
Testing men for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood -- the gold standard screening test for prostate cancer -- may be biased against obese men, whose PSA levels tend to be deceptively low.   view more (2008-08-11)

Cancer widows are often emotionally isolated
Many Swedish men have no one to turn to for emotional support other than their partners, not even in particularly traumatic situations, such as when suffering from cancer. However, according to new research, the partners of cancer patients also often lack support outside the relationship.   view more (2008-04-10)

Kiss goodbye to biopsies
JUST a drop of blood or urine might be enough to reveal if a patient has cancer, what type it is and whether it`s treatable.         "One day, there could be one biochip for analysing all cancers," says Christian Piepenbrock, head of bioinformatics at... view more (2002-03-06)
