New York: Consuming at least seven drinks of alcohol per week in your adolescence may increase the risk of high grade prostate cancer later, a new study has found. The study found that heavy alcohol intake at ages 15-19 was not associated with overall prostate cancer. However, consumption of at least seven drinks per week […]

New York: Eating a typical Western high-fat diet such as cheeseburgers and fries could make prostate cancer more aggressive and cause them to spread, finds a study. The result opens the door to new treatment for the condition that is generally an “indolent” or slow-growing and low-risk disease. “The progression of cancer to the metastatic […]

London: While the overall risk of developing cancer may be higher among shift workers, they do not develop prostate cancer more frequently than their colleagues who work during the day, a large study involving around 28,000 employees has found. “In this well-documented, large-scale cohort study, the incidence of prostate cancer among shift workers did not […]

New York: A simple blood or urine test could soon identify men with an elevated, genetically-inherited risk for prostate cancer, suggests new research that spotted genetic risk factors associated with the disease. “We developed a risk model that may have clinical value,” said lead researcher John Witte, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics and of urology […]

Washington: Sleeping well may prevent prostate cancer in men, a new study has claimed. Men with higher levels of melatonin, a hormone involved in the sleep-wake cycle, had a 75 per cent reduced risk for developing advanced prostate cancer compared with men who had lower levels of melatonin, researchers found. Melatonin is produced exclusively at […]

New York: Researchers, including one of an Indian-origin, have developed a novel machine-learning framework that can distinguish between low and high-risk prostate cancer with more precision than ever before, according to a new study. The study conducted by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Keck School of Medicine at the University of […]

New York: Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) system to help radiologists improve their ability to diagnose prostate cancer. The system, called FocalNet, helps identify and predict the aggressiveness of the disease by evaluating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and does so with nearly the same level of accuracy as experienced radiologists. FocalNet […]

London: Men with higher levels of testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a new study. A research of more than 200,000 men is one of the first to show strong evidence of two factors that could possibly be modified to reduce prostate […]

New Delhi: If you are taking Omega-3 pills or relish two-three servings of Omega-3 rich fish a week, you can continue with those, without worrying about its potential prostate cancer risk that some previous research with preliminary findings has reported in the past. The researchers at the Intermountain Healthcare Heart Institute in Salt Lake City, […]

New Delhi: An immunotherapy drug in a major trial has shown to be effective in some men suffering from advanced prostate cancer, according to a media report said. The BBC reported that the men participating in the trials had stopped responding to the main treatment options. A small proportion of men — described as “super […]

London:  Researchers have developed a method based on artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer. The AI-system has the potential to solve one of the bottlenecks in the modern prostate cancer histopathology by providing more accurate diagnosis and better treatment decisions, they said. The study, published in the journal The Lancet Oncology, shows […]

New York: Researchers have found that being overweight in middle age and later adulthood linked to a greater risk of advanced prostate cancer. Using data from 15 large studies combined together, the research team examined associations between body fat, height, and prostate cancer risk in 830,772 men, 51,734 of whom had been diagnosed with prostate […]

Sydney: Scientists have discovered a novel formulation of the prostate cancer drug abiraterone acetate that can dramatically improve the quality of life for people suffering from prostate cancer. Pre-clinical trials by the University of South Australia show the new formulation of the drug – currently marketed as Zytiga – improves the drug’s effectiveness by 40 […]
