Study finds under-representation of certain populations in cancer clinical trials

In a study examining disparities and trends in the inclusion of minorities, women, and older patients in cancer clinical trials, investigators found that certain populations remain under-represented.

New, improved organoids shed light on untreatable form of prostate cancer

A multi-institutional team of investigators led by bioengineer Ankur Singh has developed research tools that shed new light on a virtually untreatable form of prostate cancer, opening a pathway that may lead to novel therapeutics and a glimmer of hope for patients.

Exosomes involved in the progression of breast cancer in patients with obesity, diabetes

Obesity, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes are risk factors for breast cancer in post-menopausal women. The metabolic and inflammatory complications of obesity have a role in the formation of cancer.

Scientists unravel near-atomic-scale structure of depression-linked brain receptor

Scientists at Scripps Research, Florida have determined the near-atomic-scale structure of an unusual brain-cell receptor called GPR158, which has been linked to depression and anxiety.

Regular blood tests can identify prostate cancer patients who are resistant to treatment

Regular blood tests before and during chemotherapy for prostate cancer can detect whether or not a patient is resistant or developing resistance to treatment with docetaxel, according to research presented at the NCRI Festival.

Study highlights the increase in PSA screening for prostate cancer following revisions to USPSTF guidelines

In a large study led by Yale Cancer Center, more men received a prostate-specific antigen or PSA test to detect prostate cancer following revisions to the recommendation by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) on screening.

Study identifies RNA molecule that suppresses prostate tumors

Many patients with prostate cancer are treated with drugs that lower or block hormones that fuel tumor growth. While the drugs are effective for a time, most patients eventually develop resistance to these therapies.

Prostate cancer urine test identifies men who can safely avoid immediate treatment

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have shown that a prostate cancer urine test can identify men at 'intermediate risk' who can safely avoid immediate treatment and benefit from 'active surveillance' instead.

2 Nov 2021

Immune checkpoint protein may be a promising new target for prostate cancer immunotherapy

The immune checkpoint protein B7-H3 may be a promising new target for immunotherapy in treatment-resistant prostate cancers, according to two new studies led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.

Diet-associated molecules in the gut are linked with aggressive prostate cancer

Cleveland Clinic researchers have shown for the first time that diet-associated molecules in the gut are associated with aggressive prostate cancer, suggesting dietary interventions may help reduce risk. Findings from the study were published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

28 Oct 2021

Prostate cancer drugs could be effectively repurposed to inhibit melanoma in men

New research shows that testosterone promotes melanoma proliferation by activating a newly recognized nonclassical testosterone receptor in melanoma cells called ZIP9 (encoded by the SLC39A9 gene), a zinc transporter that is not intentionally targeted by any available therapeutics but is widely expressed in human melanoma.

Fewer, higher doses of post-prostatectomy radiation therapy does not increase long-term side effects

Using fewer - but higher - doses of radiation to treat men with prostate cancer who had their prostates removed does not increase long-term side effects or lower their quality of life compared to conventional radiation treatment, a new, multi-institutional clinical trial shows.
