Shrinkage of prostate led to overestimation of cancer risk in trial
Reanalysis of data from the first long-term randomized trial of a chemopreventive agent for prostate cancer shows that the excess prevalence of high-grade prostate cancer in the drug-treated group may be attributable to shrinkage of the prostate at the time of biopsy. view more (2007-09-13)

Obesity, history of weight gain could help predict prostate cancer progression
How heavy a man is at the time he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, as well as his history of weight gain, appear to play significant roles in how aggressive his cancer may become, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-10-03)
Selected men with low-risk prostate cancer have good clinical outcomes without immediate treatment
A multi-center study of prostate cancer patients appearing in today's Journal of Urology recommends that for some men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer, opting not to initially receive treatment can be safe if they are closely monitored. view more (2009-03-16)
AUA counters mainstream recommendations with new best practice statement on PSA testing

Screening reduces mastectomy rates
The introduction of breast screening has brought about a reduction in mastectomy rates, despite recent suggestions that screening increases the number of mastectomies as a result of overdiagnosis, say researchers in this week's BMJ.

Largest study to date reveals baseline findings for flexible sigmoidoscopy
The largest study to date on the early detection of colorectal cancer offers benchmark data for what could be expected from large-scale use of flexible sigmoidoscopy as a screening tool for colorectal cancer. view more (2005-07-06)
Women not put off breast screening by previous falsely abnormal results
Being given an abnormal result for a breast cancer screen that subsequently turns out to be normal, does not seem to put women off breast screening, finds research in the Journal of Medical Screening.
