Prostate cancer is being diagnosed in an increasing number of men, but many of them will be non-aggressive forms that run over the man’s lifetime.

Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers identified a lipid-regulating protein that conveys what the researchers describe as "superpowers" onto prostate cancer cells, causing them to aggressively spread.
 
   Genetic screening could be effective at detecting undiagnosed cases of prostate cancerGenetic screening could be effective at detecting undiagnosed cases of prostate cancer
 
Genetic screening for prostate cancer in GP surgeries could be effective at picking up otherwise undiagnosed cases of the disease, a new pilot study shows.
 
 New eco-evolutionary mathematical model can predict prostate cancer aggressiveness
 
New eco-evolutionary mathematical model can predict prostate cancer aggressivenessProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One in nine men will be diagnosed during their lifetime. While most men will not die from prostate cancer, there is a small subset of patients whose disease is so aggressive at the time of diagnosis that surgery and radiation are not able to control their cancer.
 
 
 Key recommendations on genetic testing of men for prostate cancer
 
Key recommendations on genetic testing of men for prostate cancerProstate cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer in the US and especially in the Philadelphia region. Consistently, Philadelphia has outpaced the state of PA and the nation in diagnoses and death from prostate cancer.
