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)
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)
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)
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)
Jefferson scientists uncover gene mutation that cuts colon polyps, may suppress cancer
Cancer biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have found a gene mutation that can dramatically reduce the number of colon polyps that develop, and in turn, potentially cut the risk of cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
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 inhibits progression of some prostate cancers
Vitamin D can inhibit the spread of prostate cancer cells by limiting the activity of two specific enzymes, University of Rochester Medical Center scientists report. view more (2006-02-09)
A rare diagnosis in the operation room: Kidney atrophy due to duplicated colon in an adult
Gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are rare entities in an adult patient. Commonly they are located in the upper gastrointestinal system and present with intestinal symptoms such as bleeding, obstruction and/or perforation of the intestine. view more (2008-02-22)
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)
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)
New drug to treat enlarged prostate developed at UCL
Millions of men stand to benefit from new method of treatment for enlarged prostate view more (2003-11-27)
Swiss study finds income affects prostate cancer patients' survival
Prostate cancer patients of low socioeconomic status are more likely to die than patients with higher incomes. view more (2009-09-28)
Minority patients discouraged from cancer screening by negative messages
New behavioral science research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, found that constantly emphasizing the negative consequences of a lack of cancer screening among minorities can actually make them less likely to go for screening. view more (2008-11-06)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Colon cancer screening — Going 'Back To The Future'?
Colon cancer screening rates continue to lag behind those for breast and cervical cancer. view more (2007-02-20)
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)
