WA discovery a key to blood cell development
A West Australian research team has made the world-first discovery a 'pied piper' molecule within blood cells, called Liar, that leads other molecules into the nucleus of the cell, and could offer a key in treating prostate, breast and colon cancers as well as leukemia. view more (2009-04-29)
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)
Routine evaluation of prostate size not as effective in cancer screening, Mayo study finds
New Mayo Clinic research studied the association between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and prostate size and found that routine annual evaluation of prostate growth is not necessarily a predictor for the development of prostate cancer. view more (2009-11-11)
PSA test has higher accuracy for patients taking finasteride
Finasteride is a drug prescribed for men whose prostates have become enlarged. The drug decreases prostate swelling and helps men with urinary problems. view more (2006-08-16)
Prostate Cancer Survival Benefit From A Combination Of Androgen Suppression And External Irradiation
Disease-free survival from advanced prostate cancer could be almost doubled if hormone-suppression therapy is used during and after radiotherapy for a duration of 3 years, suggest authors of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Long-term survival after radiotherapy for people with advanced prostate cancer is poor. Michel... view more... (2002-07-05)
3T MRI plays significant role in detecting prostate cancer, study says
The use of MRI without endorectal coil can detect prostate cancer and provide undistorted images with diagnostic image quality and accurate tumor localization, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. view more (2008-04-14)
Virtual colonoscopy reveals diseases outside the colon, as well
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography, known as virtual colonoscopy, can be used to diagnose significant medical problems in organs outside the colon, according to a new study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). view more (2005-07-27)
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)
Profiling of cancer genes may lead to better and earlier detection
A research team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has for the first time identified several genes whose expression is lost in four of the most common solid human cancers - lung, breast, prostate and colon cancer. view more (2006-12-27)
Prostate cancer spurs new nerves
Prostate cancer - and perhaps other cancers - promotes the growth of new nerves and the branching axons that carry their messages, a finding associated with more aggressive tumors, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in the first report of the phenomenon that appears today in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. view more (2008-12-01)
'Virtual' colonoscopy considerably more expensive
Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center researchers have found that "virtual" colonoscopy using a computer tomography (CT) scanner is considerably more expensive than the traditional procedure due to the detection of suspicious images outside of the colon. view more (2006-10-25)
Men with wives, significant others more likely to be screened for prostate cancer
Although the link between early screening and prostate cancer survival is well established, men are less likely to go for early screening unless they have a wife or significant other living with them. view more (2008-12-08)
Jefferson scientists find protein potential drug target for treatment-resistant prostate cancer
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have found that a signaling protein that is key to prostate cancer cell growth is turned on in nearly all recurrent prostate cancers that are resistant to hormone therapy. view more (2008-01-02)
Cancer-obesity link discovery by MSU researchers could aid prevention efforts
A new link between body fat and cancer identified by a Michigan State University researcher underscores obesity's health risk and could lead to new cancer treatment and prevention strategies. view more (2009-05-01)
Men with prostate cancer want screening despite doubts over effectiveness of treatment
Most men with prostate cancer strongly advocate routine testing for prostate specific antigen (PSA), despite evidence that aggressive screening and treatment does not reduce deaths, according to two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, researchers at the University of Oxford interviewed 52 men with suspected or confirmed prostate... view more... (2002-10-02)
New prostate cancer marker helps identify men whose cancer is likely to spread
Prostate cancer researchers at Sydney's Garvan Institute, supported by the Cancer Institute NSW, have found a new marker for identifying aggressive prostate cancers. view more (2006-10-04)
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)
Early warning: PSA testing can predict advanced prostate cancer
Researchers who showed that a single prostate specific antigen (PSA) test at age 50 or under could predict the presence of prostate cancer up to 25 years later, (regardless of clinical significance) have now found that a single PSA can be used to predict advanced prostate cancer. view more (2008-02-15)
