University of Utah School of Medicine researchers have found compelling evidence that Parkinson’s disease is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and melanoma, and that this increased…

Many men in their 80s get regular blood tests for prostate cancer even though there’s no evidence the tests will benefit them, according to a new study.

In…

A new interventional radiology treatment that blocks blood supply to men’s enlarged prostate glands shows comparable clinical results to transurethral resection of the prostate (or TURP), considered the…

A new study on the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based prostate cancer screening in the United States found that many elderly men may be undergoing unnecessary prostate cancer screenings.…

Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have found that change in PSA levels over time - known as PSA velocity - is a poor predictor of prostate cancer…

PSA screening has declined in one large U.S. healthcare network since publication of two large screening trials and a set of guidelines, according to a study published online…

The genetic code of one of the most deadly cancers has been mapped by scientists for the first time in a breakthrough that could “transform” our understanding of the disease.

For the first time, researchers have laid bare the full genetic blueprint of multiple prostate tumors, uncovering alterations that have never before been detected and offering a deep…

The popular drug dutasteride may not be a cost-effective way to prevent prostate cancer in men who are at elevated risk of developing the disease,…

Prostate tumors with a distinctive four-gene “signature” are far more lethal than others, laying the groundwork for a test to predict which tumors need aggressive treatment, U.S. researchers said…
