Prostate cancer: Noninvasive urine test moves a step closer - Medical News Today

- April 14, 2020

Researchers have identified a unique molecular signature of prostate cancer in urine. This may pave the way for an accurate, noninvasive test for the condition. Share on Pinterest Recent research could help pave the way for a new urine test for prostate cancer. The scientists — from Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center in Baltimore, MD — used RNA and other molecules in urine to differentiate between males with prostate cancer and those with nonmalignant prostate conditions or healthy prostates. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among males in the United States, after skin cancer. Around 1 in 9 males will receive a diagnosis of this condition in their lifetime. In the U.S. alone, almost 192,000 males will receive a diagnosis in 2020, and over 33,000 will die from the condition. Prostate cancer is highly treatable, especially if a doctor diagnoses it early. However, there are often no symptoms in the early stages, and existing screening tes...

Lower Back Pain and Cancer: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

enlarged prostate symptoms burning :: Article Creator 10 Signs And Symptoms Of Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the early stages. Signs of prostate cancer can include frequent urination, weak or interrupted urine stream, painful ejaculation, blood in urine or semen, and erectile dysfunction as the disease progresses. It doesn't necessarily mean you have prostate cancer if you have these symptoms. Other conditions that affect the prostate, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), cause similar symptoms. HeroImages / Getty Images The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located in the lower pelvis in front of the rectum and just below the bladder in the male reproductive system. The prostate wraps around the urethra, a tube that empties urine from the bladder. A tumor can press on or constrict the urethra, causing frequent urination, urinary urgency, and difficulty urinating. Fr...

Tips to be fit: Should you get prostate cancer screening? - The Philadelphia Tribune

- February 24, 2020

Recent news article have suggested that healthy men don’t need to have routine prostate screenings. At first you might say, “Well I’m healthy. Maybe I’ll skip it this time.” Should you? A few years ago the United States Preventive Services Task Force said in a report that routine “prostate-specific antigen” (PSA) screenings does not save lives. Their conclusion was based on five major clinical studies. The two largest studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe found that the death rates of men who got prostate screenings were virtually the same as those who didn’t. Is this reason enough not to have a routine prostate screenings? What most people and even some doctors don’t understand is that a PSA screening is not a specific test for cancer. It’s a test that can detect abnormalities. It doesn’t identify a particular problem. One doctor put it this way “A PSA screening is like an engine warning light. When it flashes, you can’t tell if a particular spark plug is bad. It tells you on...

New test extending lives of advanced prostate cancer patients

- November 13, 2018

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- As an active 45-year-old man who loves to surf and take adventures with his daughter, Bryce Olson was the last person his friends expected to get cancer. In 2014, a call while at work confirmed it: stage IV metastatic prostate cancer. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, lymph nodes, bones or other organs. “It was just shocking and sad and I didn’t know anything about this stuff, so I just...I rolled into whatever my doctors were recommending," said Olson. He says the standard of care - surgery, chemotherapy, and the initial hormone therapy - wasn't working. “I started coming to terms with my own mortality. I didn’t even think I’d see my kid get out of elementary school and I was losing hope," said Olson. Olson says he wanted to make his final days count. The Intel employee started learning about precision medicine and eventually pursued DNA sequencing to find out exactly what was driving his disease. “I'm a b...

Finasteride Effective in Preventing Prostate Cancer - Targeted Oncology

- February 16, 2019

Ian Thompson, Jr, MD According to the final analysis of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT), finasteride (Proscar), an agent commonly used to treat lower urinary tract problems and baldness in men, was safe and effective in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. The findings were recently published published in the New England Journal of Medicine . 1 “Finasteride is safe, inexpensive, and effective as a preventive strategy for prostate cancer,” principal investigator Ian Thompson, Jr, MD, chair of SWOG's Genitourinary Cancer committee, and president of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital Medical Center, said in a press release. “Doctors should share these results with men who get regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests that screen for the presence of prostate cancer. The drug will have its greatest effect in this group of men.” The initial SWOG Cancer Research Network PCPT trial, which was funded by the National Cancer Institute, first opened for enrollmen...

Prostate cancer: Investigating the impact of diet - Medical News Today

- October 23, 2019

A recent review searches for links between dietary choices and prostate cancer. The authors conclude that there may be an association between plant based diets and a decreased risk of prostate cancer, as well as a link between dairy intake and increased risk. Share on Pinterest The relationship between diet and disease will not give up its secrets easily. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be an estimated 174,650 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States this year. In the U.S., about 11.6% of men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer at some point during their lifetime. As with other types of cancer , scientists are still uncovering the full range of risk factors for prostate cancer. Some scientists have turned to nutrition , but — for various reasons — measuring the effect of the diet on disease is notoriously difficult. As one example, food intake can fluctuate wildly from day to day, month to month, and year to year. Also, certain dietary ...

Differences Between a Malignant and Benign Tumor - Verywell Health

- October 30, 2021

If you have been diagnosed with a tumor, the first step your healthcare provider will take is to find out whether it is malignant or benign, as this will affect your treatment plan. In short, the meaning of malignant is cancerous and the meaning of benign is noncancerous. Learn more about how either diagnosis affects your health. Verywell / Joshua Seong What Is a Tumor? A tumor is an abnormal lump or growth of cells. When the cells in the tumor are normal, it is benign. Something just went wrong, and they overgrew and produced a lump. When the cells are abnormal and can grow uncontrollably, they are cancerous cells, and the tumor is malignant. To determine whether a tumor is benign or cancerous, a healthcare provider can take a sample of the cells with a biopsy procedure. Then the biopsy is analyzed under a microscope by a pathologist, a healthcare provider specializing in laboratory science. Benign Tumors: Noncancero...
