Prostate Cancer

The study results lend strength to discuss prostate cancer screening in younger Black men, according to an expert.

From Al Roker’s cancer screening advice to the death of actor Charles Grodin, here’s what’s happening in the cancer landscape this week.

In this episode of the “CURE® Talks Cancer” podcast, Leanne Burnham, Ph.D., discusses the research she’s working on to address health disparities in Black men with prostate cancer after being inspired by her father’s diagnosis, and shares her own cancer survival story.

A recent analysis of veterans with prostate cancer showed that they are not being assessed and treated for cardiovascular risk factors at the rate they should be to optimize survival, particularly when being treated with androgen deprivation therapy, which has been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

A prostate cancer survivor recalls a time when the cancer center’s staff helped him realize that its OK to have fun while receiving cancer treatment.

Never say to someone that at least they have a “good” kind of cancer or that they don’t really look that sick, writes one cancer survivor.

The Food and Drug Administration’s recent approval of the first oral hormone therapy, Orgovyx, for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer has positioned the drug to become a standard of care for patients, according to an expert.

A survivor takes a closer look at the trouble with using the phrase “cancer-free” when discussing the disease with friends and family.

Here is a list of some recent trials that launched within the cancer space in February.

“Did you hear the one about the cancer procedure that went terribly wrong?” “It turned out to be a ‘bi-oopsie!’”

The combination of Erleada, Zytiga and the steroid prednisone was associated with a trend toward better survival outcomes in certain patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Instead of buying your sweetheart chocolates for Valentine’s Day this year, one cancer survivor suggests people get screened as a gift to their significant other.

Patients with prostate cancer experienced no significant difference in quality of life when treated with two different types of radiation regimens, recent research has found.

At three years, overall survival in men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with Nubeqa was 83% compared with 77% in those who received placebo.

Men who are receiving androgen deprivation therapy treatment for prostate cancer experience higher levels of fatigue and depression when compared to men who are not receiving treatment and who have no history of cancer.

Lynparza demonstrates a significantly longer duration of survival compared Xtandi or Zytiga for men with metastatic prostate cancer, one study found.

Researchers observed the benefit of adhering to a Mediterranean diet in all men, in addition to non-White men and those without diabetes.

Generations of cancer leads to the risk that must be addressed head-on, but the lessons we can take from our own family members who have had cancer is valuable to pass on.

Orgovyx is the first oral drug to treat patients with advanced prostate cancer, who were previously treated with intravenous drugs that required clinic visits.

While the current field of prostate cancer research is experiencing an era of “warp speed developments,” perhaps the most exciting option on the horizon is theranostics, according to Dr. Phillip J. Koo.

The radioactive diagnostic agent, Gallium 68 PSMA-11, can detect suspected prostate cancer metastasis or recurrence, providing another imaging option for these patients.

The field of theranostics is growing, and its impact could change the future of prostate cancer treatment. CURE® discusses this potential with a theranostics expert.

The FDA approved this liquid biopsy to check blood for prostate-tumor DNA that indicates the presence of genetic mutations or rearrangements. The test was also recently approved for use in patients with ovarian, non-small cell lung or breast tumors.

In an interview with CURE®, Dr. Phillip J. Koo defines what theranostics is, discusses the treatment’s potential and answers questions patients may have regarding its safety.

From a Canadian man shaving his moustache for the first time in nearly 50 years to participate in Movember to HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” host Tarek El Moussa discussing his journey with testicular and thyroid cancer, here’s what’s happening in the cancer landscape this week.
