Aggressive prostate cancer linked to newly discovered bacteria species

A landmark study has identified five types of bacteria associated with aggressive prostate cancer. It is unclear at this stage whether the bacteria is directly causing the cancer but the researchers are confident they can develop new tests to identify … Continue reading Aggressive prostate cancer linked to newly discovered bacteria species

New ultrasound method as effective as MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer

Researchers in the UK have demonstrated a new kind of ultrasound scan can diagnose prostate cancer with accuracy equal to costly and time-consuming magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings offer clinicians an easier way to quickly test patients f… Continue reading New ultrasound method as effective as MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer

Keto diet may enhance chemotherapy for prostate cancer

Building on the growing body of evidence showing how fasting diets can enhance cancer treatment, a new study has demonstrated ketogenic dieting can significantly improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. Using mouse models the re… Continue reading Keto diet may enhance chemotherapy for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer antibody treatment shows promise in dogs

Researchers in Japan have demonstrated a new antibody treatment for prostate cancer. The drug helps reverse a nasty trick that cancer cells play on the immune system, with promising results shown in experiments in dogs with the cancer.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Prostate cancer antibody treatment shows promise in dogs
