by Julia Evangelou Strait, Washington University School of Medicine A drug compound stimulates immune cells to attack prostate tumors, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Shown is a human prostate cancer organoid, a small 3D structure that serves as a model of prostate tumors. When the organoid is...

Previous results from the STAMPEDE trial—one of the largest ever...
Men with early, curable stages of prostate cancer are missing opportunities to have their cancer detected because national guidelines and media health campaigns focus on urinary symptoms despite a lack of scientific evidence, say experts at the University of Cambridge. Over three-quarters (78%) of men diagnosed with the disease survive for over ten years. Still, this proportion...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP Hormone therapy for prostate cancer increases the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death especially in older men, according to a population study involving more than 13,000 patients. The paper, published today in the peer-reviewed journal. The Aging Male, found an elevated risk of death from cardiovascular disease for men with prostate cancer...

Credit: NIH Image Gallery A team of researchers in Australia and New Zealand has found that MRI scans can detect prostate cancer more accurately than the newer, prostate-specific -PSMA PET/CT scanning technique. The findings are being presented today at the European Association of Urology’s annual congress (EAU22), in...
EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF UROLOGY Researchers have found a significant difference in the gut microbiota of men with prostate cancer, compared with those who have benign biopsies. The study is presented at the European Association of Urology annual congress (EAU22), in Amsterdam. Although the finding is an association, it could partly explain the relationship between lifestyle...
