Prostate Cancer Cells

Regular prostate cancer screenings can help detect the disease early when it is more treatable.

The powerful antioxidant lycopene is also found in cell membranes and plays an important role in maintaining the cell's integrity when it is under assault by toxins.

Scientists have identified a signalling circuit in cells that can be targeted to treat advanced prostate cancer in patients who are resistant to existing therapies.

A compound initially developed to reduce cholesterol molecule levels can not only halt the progression of prostate cancer but can also kill the deadly cancerous cells in the human body, a new study shows.

Combining radiation treatment with 'suicide gene therapy' - a technique in which prostate cancer cells are genetically modified so they signal a patient's immune system to attack them - provides an effective two-pronged punch against the disease, new research shows.

The findings suggest that the chilli compound capsaicin could one day be used to develop effective anti-cancer drugs in the form of an injection or pill.

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, have figured out how the compound responsible for chilis' heat kills prostate cancer cells.
