The role of gut bacteria in the progression of prostate cancer has been highlighted in a new study showing how the microbiome can influence hormone metabolism, which subsequently amplifies tumor growth and disrupts certain hormone treatments.Continue R… Continue reading Researchers discover how gut bacteria can enhance prostate cancer growth
A small but robust study from researchers at Australia’s Edith Cowan University has discovered one way exercise can help suppress cancer growth. The study found exercise induces muscles to release a type of protein that can slow the growth of tumor cel… Continue reading Significant discovery shows how exercise can directly slow cancer growth
Continuous advances in artificial intelligence promise to shake up medical care in all kinds of exciting ways, with the ability to rapidly scan medical images and spot signs of disease far more efficiently than humans can. Scientists in Australia have … Continue reading AI tool analyzes CT scans to spot prostate cancer in seconds
Scientists continue to search for increasingly powerful drugs to take on cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth, and nature continues to provide them with a rich source of inspiration. The latest example comes from white button mushrooms, which a team o… Continue reading White button mushroom extract suppresses prostate cancer growth in mice
A new systematic review and meta-analysis encompassing the most current research has found a distinctly positive correlation between high levels of coffee consumption and a lower risk of prostate cancer. The new research hopes to help bring clarity to … Continue reading Meta-analysis links higher coffee intake with lower prostate cancer risk
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool has shown promise in treating a wide range of diseases, but getting it into cells in the first place can be challenging. Now, researchers in Australia have packaged the tool inside porous materials called metal organic… Continue reading Super-porous material transports cancer-killing CRISPR inside cells
Researchers in Germany have developed a new drug that can act like a “shredder” for proteins implicated in causing cancer. In tests on lab-grown cancer cells, the drug worked to kill the tumors, suggesting a new pathway to a treatment for the disease.C… Continue reading New drug candidate “shreds” cancer-causing protein in early lab tests
“Synthetic lethality” is a phenomenon where genetic mutations that normally don’t harm a cell suddenly become deadly when paired up. Now, scientists have found a way to use this method to selectively kill off cancer that results from genetic mutations,… Continue reading “Synthetic lethality” kills cancer by blocking DNA repair mechanism
Scientists are reporting some promising findings from a large prostate cancer trial, where patients were administered a drug typically used to treat breast cancer. The drug proved more effective than standard hormone treatments at applying the brakes t… Continue reading Breast cancer drug slows prostate cancer progression in major trial
Two newly published studies are presenting novel diagnostic techniques to help catch the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer at an early stage. A University of East Anglia study presents an innovative way to measure gene expression in tumor sample… Continue reading New diagnostic tools aim to catch aggressive prostate cancer early
