Mounting evidence continues to show that exercise may be a key component in successful cancer prevention and treatment. Studies have also found that it can help keep cancer from recurring, so it's really a triple-win.
New York, NY, March 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New evidence supports the importance of swift action in treating prostate cancer for some patients. A recent study found that older men who take a non-curative approach to "low-risk" prostate cancer (PCa) are at increased risk of prostate-cancer specific mortality (PCSM).
Radiation therapy may be used to treat prostate cancer. Learn how we use advanced radiation technology to precisely target cancer cells, with fewer side effects.
Mike Hawker travels 3,200 miles from his home in Anchorage to the Mayo Clinic every six months to get a test for microscopic signs that a rare form of prostate cancer he beat three years ago may have returned. For Hawker, a Republican state representative in Alaska, the trips are…
Corresponding author Janet L. Stanford, Ph.D., and colleagues Marni Stott-Miller, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research fellow and Marian Neuhouser, Ph.D., all of the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division, have published their findings online in The Prostate.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) used radiation beams of varying intensities and shapes that attack tumors. The changes in shape allow for reduced exposure of healthy tissue to radiation and limit the side effects of treatment. In the case of most IPCCs, urologists buy radiation equipment called linear accelerators, complex machines…
A recombinant Newcastle disease virus kills all kinds of prostate cancer cells, including hormone resistant cells, but leaves normal cells unscathed, according to a new article. A treatment for prostate cancer based on this virus would avoid the adverse side effects typically associated with hormonal treatment for prostate cancer, as…
Two novel radiolabeled small molecules targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen have excellent potential for further development as diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, according to new research. The imaging agents — 123I-MIP-1072 and 123I-MIP-1095 — were shown to have a high sensitivity of lesion detection in bone, soft tissue and the prostate gland…
A new study shows how important it is for men to carefully consider treatments for early-stage prostate cancer. Fifteen years after surgery or radiation treatment, nearly all of the older men in the study had some problems having sex. About one-fifth had bladder or bowel trouble, researchers found.
