A new study has found that, in mouse models of prostate cancer, a compound extracted from sandalwood oil was effective in slowing the onset and growth of tumors and resulted in cell death. Further research will explore whether the extract can be used to treat prostate cancer in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Tumor, Florida Atlantic University

Genetic ringleader responsible for prostate cancer spread identified
Posted by ArielTechGeek 220 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have identified the gene responsible for setting off a cellular chain reaction that causes prostate cancer to metastasize to the bone, making it almost impossible to treat. The discovery could have significant implications for treating prostate cancer and other solid tumor types in which the gene is present.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Genetics, Met
Promising new approach targets aggressive type of prostate cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 306 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives an aggressive form of prostate cancer that doesn’t respond well to typical treatments. Importantly, they also identified a drug currently undergoing clinical trials that can potentially treat it.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Treatment, Cancer, University of Michigan
New prostate cancer biomarkers to help improve diagnosis and treatment
Posted by ArielTechGeek 330 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have identified three new prostate cancer biomarkers that improve the visibility of cancer cells used by pathologists to grade the disease’s severity. The novel technique could assist in determining which patients require urgent treatment and those who don’t, potentially improving treatment outcomes for millions of men.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, B
Largest study of its kind finds new genetic links to prostate cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 466 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Men of African descent are known to have a far higher incidence of prostate cancer than other men. A new meta-analysis, the largest to date, has shed light on why this is so, identifying nine new genetic variants that increase the risk of prostate cancer in men of African ancestry.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Africa, Genetics

The prevalence of prostate cancer around the world means that finding an effective treatment is critical. A new UK study has used mathematics to investigate the effectiveness of some currently available prostate cancer treatments.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Mathematics, Treatment, Cancer, University of Portsmouth
Electronic nose sniffs urine for traces of prostate cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 559 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
New research from a team of scientists in Italy has reported successful early tests for an electronic nose system designed to sniff out prostate cancer biomarkers in urine. The technology follows on from earlier research that found trained sniffer dogs can accurately detect prostate cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Electronic Nose, Cancer, Prostate cancer, Urinals, Diagnosti
Newly identified prostate cancer subtypes suggest new treatment options
Posted by ArielTechGeek 747 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified two new subtypes of prostate cancer. These new forms of the disease are resistant to usual treatments, but categorizing and studying them could lead to new therapies.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Prostate cancer, Weill Cornell Medicine, Treatment
