Low-Risk Prostate Cancer, Observation Safe And Cost-Effective
Observation is safe, cost-effective, and results in a better quality of life for patients with low-risk, localized prostate cancer, rather than undergoing immediate treatment, says a study carried out at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The study findings were published in Annals of Internal Medicine...
Discovery Of Source Of Tumor Growth In Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Researchers have discovered a molecular switch that explains, at least in part, how some fast-growing prostate cancers become resistant to hormone treatment, a new study conducted in human cell cultures and mice finds. The results were presented at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco...
Diabetes And Glucose Meters, Prostate Cancer Bone Metastases, Thyroid Autoimmunity And More
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are presenting several new studies at ENDO 2013, The Endocrine Society's Annual Meeting & Expo (ENDO) from June 15-18 in San Francisco...
Low-Risk Prostate Cancer, Observation Is Safe
"Watchful waiting" is safe, cost-effective, and results in a better quality of life for patients with low-risk, localized prostate cancer, rather than undergoing immediate treatment, says a study carried out at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The study findings were published in Annals of Internal Medicine...
Side Effects Of Radiation To Treat Prostate Cancer Reduced By Biodegradable Implant
Several years ago, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center became the first center in the United States to test an Israeli-invented device designed to increase the space between the prostate and the rectum in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy...
Hybrid Molecular Imaging System As Good As PET/CT Gold Standard For Restaging Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer
When prostate cancer makes a comeback, it becomes increasingly important to have exceptional imaging available to find all possible regions where cancer has spread to other parts of the body, or metastasized, in order to plan the best possible treatment...
Prostate Enzyme Enables Detection Of Metastases During Molecular Imaging
No matter where they have hidden, metastatic prostate cancer cells still express some of the same signaling as normal prostate cells; in some cases even more so, as with the PSMA enzyme...
Vegetable Fats Reduce Prostate Cancer Death Risk
Prostate cancer patients who replace animal fats and some carbohydrates with vegetable fats have a lower risk of premature death, researchers from the University of California reported in JAMA Internal Medicine. In the United States alone, nearly 2.5 million men currently live with prostate cancer...
Pomegranate, Green Tea, Turmeric And Broccoli May Help Fight Prostate Cancer
British researchers have scientifically proven that broccoli, turmeric, green tea and pomegranate help fight the most common cancer in men in the United States and the United Kingdom - prostate cancer...
Previously Unidentified Cells Offer Potential Targets For Future Treatments Of Prostate Cancer
Researchers have identified a sub-group of cells that could contribute to prostate cancer recurrence, opening up new ways to treat the disease, which claims more than 3000 lives a year in Australia. Published in Science Translational Medicine, a study led by Monash University researchers has found prostate cancer cells that survive androgen withdrawal treatment...
