UCLA study finds robotic-assisted prostate surgery offers better cancer control

Radical Prostatectomy / By / / 1 minute of reading

An observational study from UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that prostate cancer patients who undergo robotic-assisted prostate surgery have fewer instances of cancer cells at the edge of their surgical specimen and less need for additional cancer treatments like hormone or radiation therapy than patients who have traditional “open” surgery.

3D Mapping Biopsy Finds 3x Prostate Cancer of Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy

Diagnosis / By / / 1 minute of reading

Ultrasound-guided biopsies miss prostate cancers that are detected by the slightly more expensive and slightly more invasive 3D mapping biopsies. For example, in a 2006 study of 180 men diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer via ultrasound-guided biopsy, nearly a quarter were upgraded to a more clinically significant stage of disease after 3D mapping biopsy found pockets of cancer the first technique had missed. Now, a University of Colorado Cancer Center study reports the locations of these most-missed pockets of prostate cancer. Read the article.

Power walking could reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer

Exercise / By / / 1 minute of reading

Power walking could reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer: Men who can walk three miles an hour have a lower risk *  Men who walked fast before getting cancer have tumours with regularly shaped blood vessels – these are less aggressive and easier to treat *  Men who walked at three miles per hour before diagnosis have 8% more regularly shaped blood vessels than those who walked at 1.5 miles per hour *  The researchers think exercise could be equally beneficial for people with other cancers Read the article.

PCa Control Similar with Radiation, Radical Surgery

Radiation, Radical Prostatectomy / By / / 1 minute of reading

An Interview with Frank Critz, MD Some may find it surprising that Frank A. Critz, MD—a radiation oncologist who focuses on prostate cancer—generally considers radical prostatectomy to be the go-to treatment for localized disease. But now that he and fellow investigators have completed a 25-year study showing radiation therapy outcomes to be equal to those of radical prostatectomy under the strict surgical definition of prostate cancer control (The Journal of Urology 2013;189[3]: 878-883), Dr. Critz—the founder and medical director of Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia–Decatur (an affiliate of Vantage Oncology), can comfortably recommend both options to patients.
