Discovery may open new way to attack prostate cancer
A special protein can play a key role in the fight against certain types of prostate cancer. This is shown in a study by an international research group led from …
Prostate Cancer; Men
Study leads the way to early detection and treatment of aggressive prostate cancer
“Through comprehensive lab and mice tests we found that this SNP, although associated with reduced prostate cancer risk, is also associated with an aggressive type of this cancer,” Dr Srinivasan …
New option for treating prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Despite medical advances in recent years, this type of tumour is still responsible for one in eight male cancer …
Innovative model provides valuable insights into prostate cancer spread
A new preclinical model using CRISPR, an advanced technology that allows scientists to cut and edit genes, has given Weill Cornell Medicine researchers and their colleagues a deeper insight into …
A common culprit drives prostate cancer progression
By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have found that activation of the MYC gene — a well-known cancer-causing …
Inflammatory cells in tumor microenvironment promote the transformation of prostate cancer cells into treatment-resistant cells
There is a challenge related to prostate and many other cancers that cancer cells form resistance to treatments as the disease progresses. However, these resistance mechanisms are not yet fully …
Study solves testosterone’s paradoxical effects in prostate cancer
A treatment paradox has recently come to light in prostate cancer: Blocking testosterone production halts tumor growth in early disease, while elevating the hormone can delay disease progression in patients …
Precision therapy for metastatic prostate cancer improves survival
Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer should be treated primarily with second-generation hormone drugs, which offer better treatment response and longer life expectancy than chemotherapy. However, the effect depends on …
Prostate cancer blood test equally effective across ethnic groups, study finds
The Stockholm3 blood test, developed by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, is equally effective at detecting prostate cancer in different ethnic groups, a new paper published in The Journal of Clinical …
Prostate cancer: Protein identified to reduce tumor growth
As prostate cancer progresses, it becomes increasingly aggressive and can metastasise. In this form, the tumour is difficult to treat, which is reflected in high mortality rates: Worldwide, the malignant …
