Prostate specific antigen: A review of PSA use in screening for prostate cancer
Screening for prostate cancer using prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing continues to be problematic. Even though it is unproven whether population-wide screening with PSA can reduce death, illness or disability from prostate cancer, testing has become common in North America. view more (2007-06-19)

Cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins may reduce inflammation in prostate tumors, possibly hindering cancer growth, according to a study led by investigators in the Duke Prostate Center. view more (2009-04-27)
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)
