Breakthroughs in Prostate Cancer Treatments   Prostate cancer is being diagnosed in an increasing number of men, but many of them will be non-aggressive forms that run over the man’s lifetime.

Loss of lipid-regulating protein drives prostate cancer metastasis   Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers identified a lipid-regulating protein that conveys what the researchers describe as "superpowers" onto prostate cancer cells, causing them to aggressively spread.         Genetic screening could be effective at detecting undiagnosed cases of prostate cancer   Genetic screening for prostate cancer in GP surgeries could be effective at picking up otherwise undiagnosed cases of the disease, a new pilot study shows.

New eco-evolutionary mathematical model can predict prostate cancer aggressiveness   Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One in nine men will be diagnosed during their lifetime. While most men will not die from prostate cancer, there is a small subset of patients whose disease is so aggressive at the time of diagnosis that surgery and radiation are not able to control their cancer.       Key recommendations on genetic testing of men for prostate cancer   Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer in the US and especially in the Philadelphia region. Consistently, Philadelphia has outpaced the state of PA and the nation in diagnoses and death from prostate cancer.       New technique to sort out complex interactions unique to prostate cancer cells   UT Southwestern researchers have identified vast webs of small snippets of the genome that interact with each other and with genes to promote prostate cancer.       Scientists develop a lead compound to fight chemotherapy-resistant prostate cancer   Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University, together with German and Russian colleagues, have developed a lead compound to fight chemotherapy-resistant prostate cancer.
