While incidents of new prostate cancer may be on rise, experts stand tall in the face of all challenges to device novel ways to combat the disease.

According to a new study done, men who undergo testosterone-lowering therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer may be at an increased risk of dementia.

Washington: 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. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of death after lung cancer in American men, researchers said. Currently, the most effective treatment for advanced prostate cance...

London: Hormone therapy received by men diagnosed with prostate cancer may pose risk to those who have previously suffered a heart attack, a study has found. Men diagnosed with prostate cancer often receive hormone-depleting therapy to block the production of androgens or male sex hormones – necessary for the growth and spread of prostate cancer ...

Researchers have found that an experimental treatment -- the precise application of heat via laser to a tumour -- is not only feasible and safe in men with intermediate risk of prostate cancer but can also help avoid certain side effects associated with conventional treatment.

A first-ever international clinical trial evaluating the effect of intense physical exercise to improve survival of men with advanced prostate cancer is now underway.

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.

Practicing yoga can improve quality of life of men with prostate cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy, says a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher.

A new radiation therapy, which has already been in use to treat prostate, brain, and head and neck cancers, also reduces chemotherapy side effects when administered in those afflicted with lung cancer, new research has found.

The billionaire investor broke the news Friday while speaking to a group of executives from newspapers he owns telling them that he had his 44th and last day of radiation therapy.

Acupuncture might help reduce the hot flashes that frequently affect prostate cancer patients while they're on hormone therapy.

Just six months of hormone therapy, along with radiation, cuts the risk of dying from locally advanced prostate cancer in half when compared to radiation alone.
