New computer model predicts prostate cancer progression

An international team of cancer researchers from Denmark and Germany have used cancer patient data to develop a computer model that can predict the course of disease for prostate cancer.

			New study confirms effectiveness of PSA screening in reducing prostate cancer deaths A new study has confirmed the effectiveness of Prostate-specific Antigen screening in reducing prostate cancer mortality.

			Surgical treatment unnecessary for many prostate cancer patients Otherwise healthy men with advanced prostate cancer may benefit greatly from surgery, but many with this diagnosis have no need for it. These conclusions were reached by researchers after following a large group of Scandinavian men with prostate cancer for 29 years. The results are now published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

	Men with inflammatory bowel disease have higher prostate cancer risk Men with inflammatory bowel disease have four to five times higher risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, reports a 20-year study from Northwestern Medicine.

	Faster, cheaper test has potential to enhance prostate cancer evaluation For men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer or patients previously treated, the risk of metastasis is a crucial determinant of whether to choose conservative management or undergo further treatment.

	Whole-body imaging PET/MRI offers information to guide treatment options for prostate cancer New research on prostate cancer staging shows that PSMA-targeted PET/MRI performs equally as well as currently used predictive tools to determine the risk for advanced disease.

	LDR brachytherapy for treating early-stage prostate cancer lacks conclusive data Interstitial brachytherapy uses slightly radioactive particles implanted into the prostate to deliver radiation directly to the tumour (low-dose-rate, LDR).
