Exposure to Agent Orange linked to prostate cancer in Vietnam veterans
UC Davis Cancer Center physicians today released results of research showing that Vietnam War veterans exposed to Agent Orange have greatly increased risks of prostate cancer and even greater risks of getting the most aggressive form of the disease as compared to those who were not exposed. view more (2008-08-05)
Research Probes Soy - Prostate Cancer Link
Researchers at the University of Ulster and Belfast City Hospital are set to launch a groundbreaking study that could offer a new insight into the prevention of prostate cancer. The study will focus on a significant link between low levels of serious prostate cancer and the presence of soy products in the diet. Professor Ian Rowland, from the... view more... (2002-07-30)
NEW DIAGNOSTIC METHOD COULD IMPROVE DETECTION OF PROSTATE CANCER (p 1849)
A new diagnostic technique using colour Doppler with an ultrasound contrast agent is more effective than conventional systematic biopsy in diagnosing prostate cancer, conclude the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Prostate cancer detection is currently based on three diagnostic tests: serum prostate-specific antigen... view more... (2001-06-06)
Radiation seeds effectively cure prostate cancer in young men
Radiation seed implants (brachytherapy) are just as effective at curing prostate cancer in younger men (aged 60 and younger) as they are in older men. view more (2007-10-30)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find novel chemo drug helps treat prostate cancer
Men with a certain type of prostate cancer have been shown to respond to a new chemotherapy drug, Sagopilone, plus prednisone in an international trial led by Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers. view more (2008-06-02)
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)
Prostate cancer patients disease free after 5 years likely to be disease free after 10 years
Prostate cancer patients who receive brachytherapy and remain free of disease for five years or greater are unlikely to have a recurrence at 10 years. view more (2009-07-06)
Hormone therapy before radiation seed implants for prostate cancer
Men over 70 years of age with early-stage prostate cancer have 20 percent higher mortality if they are treated first with hormone therapy before being treated with radiation seed implants (brachytherapy), compared to men who are treated with brachytherapy alone. view more (2008-09-23)
FATTY FISH CONSUMPTION COULD REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER RISK
Consumption of fatty fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, report the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Essential fatty acids - especially omega-3 fatty acids contained in large amounts in fatty fish - have previously proved to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer... view more... (2001-05-31)
Prostate cancer patients see high survival rates with seed implants
More than ninety percent of men who receive appropriate radiation dose levels with permanent radiation seed implants to treat their prostate cancer are cured of their cancer eight years after diagnosis. view more (2007-02-01)
Urologist plays key role in determining use of hormone therapy in prostate cancer
The urologist a patient sees may be a more important factor than the tumor characteristics or the patient's other characteristics in determining the use of hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. view more (2006-06-21)
European authorities overlook cancer screening guidelines
European recommendations for cancer screening have yet to be officially validated, despite a consensus agreement by experts from all EU member states back in November 1999, according to a letter in this week's BMJ. This lack of European policy will lead to a continuation of inefficient opportunistic screening and will increase the risk of... view more... (2001-08-15)
Hormone therapy may confer more aggressive properties to prostate tumours
Hormone therapy is often given to patients with advanced prostate cancer. view more (2009-06-11)
New treatment hope for prostate cancer
Scientists at Melbourne's Burnet Institute have developed a potential new treatment for patients with prostate cancer. An article, which described the invention, has recently been published in the prestigious international journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-02-06)
Relationship between prostate information and lower urinary-tract symptoms evident
In the December issue of European Urology (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/eururo) Dr. Curtis Nickel and associates report on the evidence of a relationship between prostate inflammation and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men enrolled in the REDUCE trial. view more (2008-11-13)
MRI findings help forecast prostate cancer prognosis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients about to undergo radiation therapy for prostate cancer can help predict the likelihood that the cancer will return and spread post-treatment, according to a new study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-03-25)
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)
Largest PSA bounce study eases worry of prostate cancer returning
Prostate cancer patients who have a temporary rise in their prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiation therapy-called a PSA bounce-are not at an increased risk of their cancer coming back any more than those who don't have a temporary rise. view more (2006-11-09)
Blocking protein kills prostate cancer cells, inhibits tumor growth, Jefferson scientists find
Researchers at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have shown that they can effectively kill prostate cancer cells in both the laboratory and in experimental animal models by blocking a signaling protein that is key to the cancer's growth. view more (2008-02-28)
New test detects prostate cancer spread at the earliest time
A new prognostic test can help determine whether a prostate cancer patient will go on to have a recurrence of the disease, even if surrounding lymph nodes initially appear negative for cancer. view more (2006-06-21)
