Androgen deprivation therapy does not keep localized prostate cancer from spreading, new study says
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers wanted to know if depriving men of testosterone actually keeps cancer from spreading beyond the prostate. view more (2006-02-27)
Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
'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)
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)
Researchers uncover how prostate cancer cells defy death
New findings about how prostate cancer cells are able to resist hormone treatment and defy death may lead to more effective drug treatments. view more (2006-07-31)
Why prostate cancer patients fail hormone deprivation therapy
The hormone deprivation therapy that prostate cancer patients often take gives them only a temporary fix, with tumors usually regaining their hold within a couple of years. view more (2009-01-05)
Vegetables inhibit growth of prostate cancer in mice with human tumors
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice by affecting the expression of proteins. view more (2006-04-05)
USC researchers identify 'regulatory' genetic sequences that may predict risk for prostate cancer
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel genetic mechanism that may govern an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer. view more (2009-08-17)
"Suicide gene" injection shrinks cancer growth
Injectable "suicide gene" therapy may be a highly effective way of preventing colon cancer from spreading (metastasising), finds research in Gut. Human colon cancer carries a high risk of death because it is often not found in the early stages and readily spreads to the liver, but also the lungs and throughout the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). view more (2002-02-08)
Men need to know more about cancer
Clare Moynihan and colleagues at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Surrey reported their research today, Thursday 2 September, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Annual Conference, in Leeds. They interviewed men about their knowledge of prostate and testicular cancer. This included men with cancer, their... view more... (1999-08-20)
Swiss study suggests surgery may offer best chance of long-term prostate cancer survival
A study from Switzerland suggests that men who have surgery for prostate cancer appear less likely to die of the disease within 10 years than men who choose other treatment options, especially if they are younger or have cancers with certain tumor cell characteristics. view more (2007-10-09)
Prostate cancer vaccines more effective with hormone therapy
Among patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, the addition of hormone therapy following vaccine treatment improved overall survival compared with either treatment alone or when the vaccine followed hormone treatment, according to recent data published in the July 15 Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for... view more...

Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs. view more (2008-05-21)
More patients diagnosed at earlier stage of colon cancer since expansion of screening coverage
Since Medicare raised the amount it will reimburse for colon cancer screening in 1998, there has been an increase in use of colonoscopies by Medicare beneficiaries, and a rise in the proportion of patients being diagnosed with colon cancer at an early stage, according to a study in the December 20 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-12-20)
A novel model to pinpoint human androgen receptor targets developed
A novel computational model to pinpoint androgen receptor targets within the human genome was recently reported. view more (2005-11-01)
Survival predictors may help customize treatment options for men with metastatic prostate cancer
Four risk factors that help predict how long men may survive with metastatic prostate cancer could help doctors choose more effective treatments, according to a study led by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2009-05-15)
New ASCO/AUA guideline recommends men and their doctors discuss using 5-ARIs to reduce prostate cancer risk
A newly released joint guideline produced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the American Urological Association (AUA) recommends that healthy men who are screened regularly for prostate cancer and show no symptoms of the disease should talk to their doctors about using a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) to prevent the... view more...

Alcohol increases rectal cancer risk, but risk is smaller among regular wine drinkers
Regular drinkers significantly increase their risk of rectal cancer, but that risk is reduced if wine makes up a third or more of weekly consumption, suggests research in Gut. The findings are based on a population study of over 29,000 Danish men and women aged between 23 and 95. Their weekly intake of beer, wine, and spirits was assessed, as were... view more...

Anti-tumor effects are enhanced by inhibiting 2 pathways rather than 1
Two independent research groups have found that simultaneous inhibition of two signaling pathways resulted in substantially enhanced antitumor effects in mouse models of prostate and breast cancer. In an accompany commentary, Steven Grant, at Virginia Commonwealth University Health Science Center, Richmond, discusses the clinical importance of... view more... (2008-08-22)
Obese women in Canada are less likely to be screened for cervical cancer
Research in the United States has shown that obese people are less likely than their normal-weight peers to undergo screening for breast, colon and cervical cancer. Raj Padwal, Rebecca Mitchell and Scott Klarenbach, from the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, have undertaken a study to see if this trend is also true in... view more...
