 High levels of microplastics found in prostate tumors, possibly linked to take-out foodHigh levels of microplastics found in prostate tumors, possibly linked to take-out food
 
Researchers discovered microplastics in both tumor and para-tumor prostate tissues, with higher concentrations found in tumor samples, raising concerns about their potential role in cancer development.
 
 
 New CRISPR model offers deeper insight into prostate cancer metastasisNew CRISPR model offers deeper insight into prostate cancer metastasis
 
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 how prostate cancer spreads or metastasizes.
 
   New biopsy technique reduces infection risk in prostate cancer detectionNew biopsy technique reduces infection risk in prostate cancer detection
 
A multi-institutional clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators showed that a newer technique for collecting prostate biopsy samples reduced the risk of infection compared with traditional biopsy approaches.
 
   Researchers reveal mechanisms of how CDK12 alterations drive prostate cancer developmentResearchers reveal mechanisms of how CDK12 alterations drive prostate cancer development
 
When researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center first identified a new subtype of aggressive prostate cancer, they knew they needed to understand how this genetic alteration was driving cancer and how to target it with treatment.
 
   Study shows equal effectiveness of proton beam therapy and IMRT for prostate cancerStudy shows equal effectiveness of proton beam therapy and IMRT for prostate cancer
 
People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy -; proton beam therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) -; achieved equally high rates of tumor control with no differences in patient-reported quality of life, according to a first-of-its-kind phase III clinical trial comparing the two technologies.
 
 Insights into testosterone recovery after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer
 
Insights into testosterone recovery after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancerA study led by researchers from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center sheds light on testosterone recovery following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer, providing key insights for optimizing patient care.
 
 
 UCLA Health researchers showcase advances in radiation oncology at ASTRO
 
UCLA Health researchers showcase advances in radiation oncology at ASTROUCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers and physicians who specialize in treating patients with radiation therapies will present data on the latest radiation oncology research and clinical trial results at the 66th annual American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting in Washington D.C., Sept. 29 to Oct. 2.
 
 
 Study finds immunotherapy effective for prostate cancer with certain DNA errors
 
Study finds immunotherapy effective for prostate cancer with certain DNA errorsNew research has shown that immunotherapy can be effective in treating prostate cancer in men who are selected based on the genetic characteristics of their tumors.
 
 
 Barcoding technology reveals secrets of cancer metastasis
 
Barcoding technology reveals secrets of cancer metastasisMetastatic cancer can be a devastating diagnosis. The cancer is spreading. It may travel to multiple organs in the body. This could mean more pain and ultimately, death.
 
 
 Researchers question the use of "cancer" for certain prostate conditions
 
Researchers question the use of "cancer" for certain prostate conditionsA new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that patients may benefit if doctors stop calling certain early-stage changes to the prostate "cancer" at all.
 
 
 Study reveals MYC gene's role in prostate cancer initiation and progression
 
Study reveals MYC gene's role in prostate cancer initiation and progressionBy 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 gene -; sets off a cascade of events that leads to both initiation and progression of the disease.
 
 
 Study reveals how inflammatory immune cells enhance prostate cancer resistance
 
Study reveals how inflammatory immune cells enhance prostate cancer resistanceThere 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 understood.
 
 
 Early prostate cancer surgery linked to improved survival rates
 
Early prostate cancer surgery linked to improved survival ratesThe survival rate of men with prostate cancer who had their entire prostate gland removed immediately after the tumor was detected increased by 17 percentage points compared with those who did not have treatment until the tumor began to cause symptoms.
 
 
 Older adults face higher CVD risk post-cancer treatment
 
Older adults face higher CVD risk post-cancer treatmentOlder adults treated for cancer face twice the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases compared to those without cancer. The highest risks are seen in patients with metastatic, hematologic, and lung cancers, especially after chemotherapy.
 
 
 When CDK12/13 stalls, healthy prostate cells take a malignant turn
 
When CDK12/13 stalls, healthy prostate cells take a malignant turnCDK12 is established as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer, with its loss driving aggressive disease and creating vulnerabilities for targeted therapies.
 
 
 Early blood test can predict treatment response and survival prospects in metastatic prostate cancer
 
Early blood test can predict treatment response and survival prospects in metastatic prostate cancerA blood test, performed when metastatic prostate cancer is first diagnosed, can predict which patients are likely to respond to treatment and survive the longest.
