Age plays too big a role in prostate cancer treatment decisions
Older men with high-risk prostate cancer frequently are offered fewer - and less effective - choices of treatment than younger men, potentially resulting in earlier deaths, according to a new UCSF study. View More (2010-12-22)
Doctors can now detect hard-to-diagnose prostate cancer
Researchers have successfully developed and tested a new prostate cancer screening method that uses the combined power of a novel drug therapy and changes in PSA levels over time to identify men with a high PSA who are more likely to have aggressive prostate cancer despite negative biopsies.

New prostate cancer test improves risk assessment
A new genomic test for prostate cancer can help predict whether men are more likely to harbor an aggressive form of the disease, according to a new UC San Francisco study. View More (2013-05-08)
Heart disease may be a risk factor for prostate cancer
In a large analysis of men participating in a prostate drug trial, researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute found a significant correlation between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer, suggesting the two conditions may have shared causes. View More (2012-02-09)
Urologists report success using robot-assisted surgery for urinary abnormality
Ashok Hemal, M.D., a urologic surgeon from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and colleagues have reported success using robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to repair abnormal openings between the bladder and vagina known as fistulas. View More (2008-08-19)
Hurdles ahead for health care reform primary care model, U-M study shows
Provisions of new federal health care reforms will move the country toward a primary care medical home for patients, but the nation may not have enough primary care doctors to handle the workload, according to a study by the University of Michigan Health System. View More (2010-11-12)
Kidney cancer patients may be overtreated, U-M study finds
A less aggressive type of surgery designed to spare healthy organ tissue is used infrequently to treat early-stage kidney cancer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. View More (2006-02-09)
Robotic-assisted radical bladder surgery potentially benefits bladder cancer patients
About 30 percent of the more than 70,000 bladder cancer cases expected in 2012 are muscle invasive. In such cases, radical cystectomy is the preferred treatment. View More (2012-12-19)
Reducing intake of dietary fat prevents prostate cancer in mice
Scientists with UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and the Department of Urology have showed that lowering intake of the type of fat common in a Western diet helps prevent prostate cancer in mice, the first finding of its kind in a mouse model that closely mimics human cancer, researchers said. View More (2008-05-15)
Protein thought to promote cancer instead functions as a tumor suppressor, researchers report
A protein previously thought to promote colorectal cancer instead suppresses the growth of human cancer cells in culture, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. View More (2008-07-08)
Minimal scar techniques in living donors for kidney transplant
Kidney transplant from a living donor, besides of being the best option for young people and those affected by particular conditions, results in increased organ survival and solves in part the organ shortage afflicting Spain since the mid-90 despite the high rate of cadaveric donation. View More (2011-08-05)
New blood marker may predict prostate cancer spread
Researchers report finding a new blood biomarker that enables close to 98 percent accuracy in predicting the spread of prostate cancer to regional lymph nodes. View More (2008-02-28)
Drug from Mediterranean weed kills tumor cells in mice
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, working with Danish researchers, have developed a novel anticancer drug designed to travel -- undetected by normal cells -- through the bloodstream until activated by specific cancer proteins. View More (2012-07-10)
Biopsy referral after PSA screening stays consistent over time
After the US Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial found cancer in many men with low levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), many debated which PSA level should lead to a biopsy recommendation. View More (2011-12-13)
Hypospadias, a birth defect of the male urethra, is not increasing in New York state
In recent decades, there have been periodic reports of a worldwide decline in sperm count and quality. View More (2009-06-08)
Loss of gene function makes some prostate cancer cells more aggressive, researchers find
Prostate cancer cells are more likely to spread to other parts of the body if a specific gene quits functioning normally, according to new data from researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. View More (2010-02-03)
New Male Circumcision Device for HIV Prevention Studied by NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell
With the recent endorsement by the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientists worldwide of adult male circumcision as an important strategy for HIV prevention, there is increased urgency to develop safe and cost-effective circumcision services. This is especially the case in Africa where HIV/AIDS continues to spread at an epidemic rate. View More (2008-08-04)
Gene-expression signature may signify risk for recurrence, metastasis in prostate cancer
A team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has identified a genetic signature that appears to reflect the risk of tumor recurrence or spread in men surgically treated for prostate cancer. View More (2013-04-16)
Mayo Clinic finds kidney cancer patients are unlikely to respond to potential treatment drug
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center investigators report that imatinib mesylate (GleevecTM), the drug used to treat patients with gastrointestinal stromal cancers (GISTs), is not likely to be effective for patients with high grade renal cell carcinoma - the most aggressive kidney cancer. View More (2005-12-22)
Cholesterol-lowering drug shrinks enlarged prostates in hamster model
A cholesterol-lowering drug reduced the enlarged prostates of hamsters to the same extent as a drug commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), report researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and their colleagues in the October issue of the Journal of Urology. View More (2010-10-22)
