A University of Illinois and Mayo collaboration has demonstrated a novel gene expression analysis technique that can accurately measure levels of RNA quickly and directly from a cancerous tissue ...

Prostate cancer patients who do not respond well to PSMA-targeted therapy often have potentially treatable mutations in their DNA damage-repair genes, according to research published in the May issue ...

Treatment options for localized prostate cancer are many and varied, ranging from immediate radical surgery through to observation alone. Radical prostatectomy has been shown to have an overall ...

Molecular biomarkers can serve as useful diagnostic markers, as prognostic markers for predicting clinical behavior, or as targets for new therapeutic strategies. Application of expression microarray ...

In the present study, we investigated VDR protein expression and lethal prostate cancer in the Physicians' Health Study (PHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS). We also investigated ...

A University of Illinois and Mayo collaboration has demonstrated a novel gene expression analysis technique that can accurately measure levels of RNA quickly and directly from a cancerous tissue ...

In 2014, prostate cancer was the leading cause of newly diagnosed cancers in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. A team of scientists and physicians now describe a novel imaging ...

Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden recently reported that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could reduce overdiagnosis and thereby improve prostate cancer screening. Now, the same team ...

Technology to perform prostate biopsies has been relatively unchanged since the 1980's. Traditional techniques only sample the lower portion of the prostate, yet nearly 30 percent of cancers are ...

Neighborhood disadvantage is associated with greater expression of stress-related genes that are linked to more aggressive prostate cancer. Men from disadvantaged neighborhoods have higher expression ...
