Positive surgical margins after RP do not predict prostate cancer-specific mortality
The presence of positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy does not indicate an increased risk for cancer-specific mortality, systemic disease progression, or overall mortality in prostate cancer patients, report researchers. (Source: MedWire News - Prostate Cancer)
Phase II Study Of Dasatinib In Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
UroToday.com - Src kinase is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase known to be upregulated in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). It is also expressed by osteoclasts. In prostate cancer (CaP) bone metastasis there is dual rationale for Src kinase inhibition of both CaP cells and osteoclasts, which are the initiating step in the vicious cycle of CaP bone metastasis. In Clinical Cancer Research, Dr. Cora Sternberg and collaborators report Phase II results of Dasatinib, an oral Src kinase inhibitor in patients with CRPC...

Suicide Risk In Men With Prostate-specific Antigen-Detected Early Prostate Cancer: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study From PCBaSe Sweden
UroToday.com - PSA screening remains controversial. In addition to questions over decreased mortality, concerns exist over the psychological trauma from an elevated PSA level and the results of a prostate biopsy. The ultimate tragic endpoint would be a patient committing suicide over a new diagnosis of prostate cancer (CaP). In the online version of European Urology, Anna Bill-Axelson and Swedish colleagues report that there is no increased risk of suicide among men with CaP diagnosed by PSA testing, but increased risk does exist for men with advanced CaP...

Operator Is An Independent Predictor Of Detecting Prostate Cancer At Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Prostate Biopsy
UroToday.com - Outcomes of surgical procedures such as radical prostatectomy are correlated to surgeon and hospital volumes. This has not previously been assessed for transrectal ultrasound of the prostate with biopsy TRUS-Bx. In the December 2009 issue of the Journal of Urology, investigators including Dr. Neil Fleshner at the University of Toronto report that while prostate cancer (CaP) detection differences do exist, no clear association with TRUS-Bx volume could be identified. The study cohort was 4,629 men undergoing their first TRUS-Bx between 2000 and 2008... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
