Blood vessels might predict prostate cancer behavior
A diagnosis of prostate cancer raises the question for patients and their physicians as to how the tumor will behave. Will it grow quickly and aggressively and require continuous treatment, or slowly, allowing therapy and its risks to be safely delayed? view more (2009-11-04)
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 negativ 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)
Predicting the return of prostate cancer: New Johns Hopkins study betters the odds of success
Cancer experts at Johns Hopkins say a study tracking 774 prostate cancer patients for a median of eight years has shown that a three-way combination of measurements has the best chance yet of predicting disease metastasis. view more (2009-07-02)
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 Psychological Society Division of Health Psychology... view more... (2002-09-02)
Early results favorable for 5-day radiation treatment of early stage prostate cancer
Preliminary results show that a shortened course of radiation therapy for prostate cancer called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) provides good PSA response for early-stage prostate cancer and has the same side effects as other treatments. view more (2009-03-16)
A new approach to prostate cancer detection
On Friday 20 March, US researcher Dr. Chris Beecher from the University of Michigan gave a well attended lecture about sarcosine, an N-methyl derivative of the amino acid glycine, at the 24th Annual EAU Congress in Stockholm, Sweden. view more (2009-03-26)
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 shut down their sex hormones, or androgens. view more (2007-05-09)
Study: Why Some Prostate Cancer Returns
The majority of men who receive one of the standard treatments for localized prostate cancer - surgery or radiation therapy - have an excellent outcome. view more (2009-05-28)
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 at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. view more (2008-05-01)
U-M researchers discover new genes that fuse in cancer
Using new technologies that make it easier to sequence the human genome, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a series of genes that become fused when their chromosomes trade places with each other. view more (2009-01-12)
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 conditions. 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)
