Treating prostate cancer in elderly men associated with longer survival, compared to non-treatment
New findings from an observational study suggest that elderly men who received treatment for localized prostate cancer survived significantly longer than men who did not receive treatment. view more (2006-12-13)
Drop in cancer deaths tied primarily to gains in behavior and screening
Improvements in behavior and screening have contributed greatly to the 13 percent decline in cancer mortality since 1990, with better cancer treatments playing a supporting role, according to new research from David Cutler of Harvard University. view more (2008-12-03)
Long-term study shows low oxygen levels in prostate tumors can predict recurrence
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers have discovered that low-oxygen regions in prostate tumors can be used to predict a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a marker of tumor recurrence in prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-18)
PSA is poor predictor of lethal prostate cancer
The amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in a man's bloodstream at the time of his prostate cancer diagnosis or its rate of change over the course of the disease does not adequately predict lethal prostate cancer. view more (2007-04-04)
NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the University of Manchester investigated over 40,000 women... view more...

PSA doubling predicts prostate cancer recurrence
A detectable level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the first indicator of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. In a new Mayo Clinic study, the concept of PSA doubling time (DT) is found to be a reliable tool to distinguish which patients have prolonged innocuous PSA levels after therapy from those who are at great risk for... view more...

Potential prostate cancer treatment improvements discovered by researchers at Cedars-Sinai
In a study to be published in the April, 2006 issue of the British Journal of Urology International, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown that Raloxifene, a drug commonly used to treat osteoporosis, has a potential clinical benefit in treating men with prostate cancer. view more (2006-03-22)
Gene fusion discovery may lead to improved prostate cancer test
A newly discovered gene fusion is highly expressed in a subset of prostate cancers, according to a study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College. view more (2009-04-10)
Just hours apart, 2 brothers undergo robotic prostate cancer surgery
"We are blessed to have each other to depend on. If you have to go through something bad like cancer, you're glad to have a friend to go through it with," said one of two brothers from Savannah, Georgia recovering from robotic prostate cancer surgery. view more (2008-01-18)
Risk of colorectal cancer extremely low 5 years after a normal colonoscopy screening
A study appearing in the Sept. 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine shows that among individuals with no colorectal neoplasia (abnormal growths) on initial screening colonoscopy, the five-year risk of colorectal cancer is extremely low. view more (2008-09-23)
Vitamin E, selenium and soy in combination does not prevent prostate cancer
The combination therapy of vitamin E, selenium and soy does not prevent the progression from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) to prostate cancer, according to the new research presented at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). view more (2009-04-27)
Study shows that prostate cancer increases the risk of bone fracture
As unlikely as it sounds, scientists at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research have shown that there is a link between prostate cancer and a higher risk of bone fracture. view more (2008-05-14)
Pros, cons of drug proven to prevent prostate cancer should be considered, researchers recommend
Findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers encourage men to weigh both the potential benefits and side effects of the drug finasteride before taking it to prevent prostate cancer. view more (2008-01-21)
New gene test for prostate cancer at hand
Men with susceptibility for prostate cancer will soon be identifiable through a simple DNA test. So hope scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet, who have shown that men carrying a combination of known risk genes run a four to five times higher risk of developing prostate cancer. view more (2008-01-18)
Faulty gene linked to prostate cancer risk
Missing sections of a gene, which programmes the manufacture of a chemical to alert the body to DNA damage. view more (2006-10-31)
US prostate cancer deaths down one third in men aged 50-74: Europe following?
Copenhagen, Denmark: New findings presented today (Tuesday 23 September) at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference, show that US prostate cancer mortality rates, which had been increasing slowly during the 1970s and 1980s, suddenly started to fall rapidly during the 1990s. view more (2003-09-21)
Height linked to risk of prostate cancer development and progression
A man's height is a modest marker for risk of prostate cancer development, but is more strongly linked to progression of the cancer, say British researchers who conducted their own study on the connection and also reviewed 58 published studies. view more (2008-09-03)
FDA finds no strong link between tomatoes and reduced cancer risk
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review has found only limited evidence for an association between eating tomatoes and a decreased risk of certain cancers. view more (2007-07-11)
Flower power may bring ray of sunshine to cancer sufferers
A mini-protein found in sunflower seeds could be the key to stopping tumors spreading in prostate cancer patients, according to QUT researchers. view more (2008-05-01)
Drug reverses bone loss in men with prostate cancer during the first year of treatment
A common type of treatment used to protect bone density in menopausal women is also an effective therapy for advanced prostate cancer patients during the first year of hormone therapy. view more (2006-02-27)
