VA researcher finds way to identify which men need a second biopsy
A researcher in the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center has found a way to identify which men need a second prostate biopsy because they may be harboring life-threatening prostate cancer even though they were given a clean bill of health after their first biopsy. view more (2007-02-23)
Screening families with a history of high cholesterol is most cost effective way to cut heart deaths
Screening relatives of people with high cholesterol levels is the most cost effective way to reduce deaths from coronary heart disease, yet no recommended screening strategy currently exists in the United Kingdom , according to researchers in this week's BMJ. High cholesterol which runs in families is known as familial hypercholesterolaemia. About... view more... (2002-05-28)
New Approach for Treating Recurrent Prostate Cancer on the Horizon
A new study shows that an alpha-particle emitting radiopeptide-radioactive material bound to a synthetic peptide, a component of protein-is effective for treating prostate cancer in mice. view more (2009-06-16)
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)
Routine audit is an essential part of screening
Disease prevention and health promotion activities must be audited to ensure that they are achieving their goals and giving the best protection possible for the future public health of the country, according to a letter to this week's BMJ. The value of audit as part of the quality assurance of such initiatives is particularly significant in light... view more... (2001-05-09)
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)
Another gene rearrangement involved in prostate cancer identified
Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School have identified a third gene involved in prostate cancer, expanding their groundbreaking announcement, published last October in Science, that the majority of prostate cancers carry a malignancy-inducing fusion of genes never before seen in solid tumors. view more (2006-04-04)
'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)
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)
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)
Should women be screened for domestic violence?
Over a third of women attending general practices have experienced physical violence, but doctors and nurses rarely ask about it. Researchers in this week's BMJ ask: Should women be screened for domestic violence when they visit their general practitioner? Is there a high risk group of women for whom screening might be more appropriate? Is... view more... (2002-01-30)
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...

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...

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)
Airport screening unlikely to prevent spread of SARS or influenza
Screening passengers as they arrive at UK airports is unlikely to prevent the importation of either SARS or influenza, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2005-09-23)
