Prostate Cancer Resources Internet Resources The UK Prostate Cancer Charity has a very nice basic introduction . It's a good place to start. Gary Huckabay's Prostate Pointers is one of the most comprehensive repositories for prostate cancer information on the net, and you should definitely spend some time there. Several of the other prostate cancer sites I link to here are merely sections of Prostate Pointers. One unique feature of Prostate Pointers is that it provides web sites for a rather distinguished collection of doctors specializing in prostate cancer. Oncologists Steve Strum and Mark C. Scholz's Prostate Cancer Research Institute has an exceptionally informative web site concentrating in innovative approaches to prostate cancer. Check their Insights newsletter, "PC Papers" and PowerPoint presentations for in depth information on PC. This is a remarkable resource. Us Too is a network of prostate cancer support groups . One of the most useful features of their web site is their "hot sheets" which keep you up to date on the latest research. The Ablin Foundation has an interesting news page - the best feature is the automated MedLine searches on various aspects of prostate cancer - these provide a useful window into the latest data.

Prostate Cancer December 2001 WHAT IS PROSTATE CANCER? Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that arises in the prostate gland. [ See Box The Prostate Gland below. ] As with any cancer, if it is advanced or left untreated in early stages, it can eventually spread through the blood and lymph fluid to other organs. Fortunately, prostate cancer tends to be slow growing compared to other cancers. As many as 90% of all prostate cancers remain dormant and clinically unimportant for decades. This high incidence of latent or incidental malignancy is unique to the prostate gland. Most older men eventually develop at least microscopic evidence of prostate cancer, but it often grows so slowly that, as one specialist has written, many men with prostate cancer "die with it, rather than from it." The Prostate Gland Description of the Prostate Gland The prostate gland is located between the bladder and the rectum and wraps around the urethra (the tube that carries urine through the penis). It is basically composed of three different cell types: Smooth muscle cells, which contract during sex and squeeze the fluid from the glandular cells into the urethra, where it mixes with sperm and other fluids to make semen.

Another handout on management options for prostate cancer , also written by the authors, is provided on page 1545. P rostate cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. In 1997, approximately 209,900 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed, and more than 41,800 deaths were attributed to this malignancy. At present, chemotherapy and immunotherapy cannot cure prostate cancer once it has spread beyond the gland. Therefore, curative treatment for localized tumors may be the best hope of lowering the mortality rate for prostate cancer. According to this viewpoint, the primary focus of prostate cancer management should be the detection and aggressive treatment of tumors while they are still confined to the prostate.

Advanced Search Departments Patient Information Prostate Cancer Screening: More Harm Than Good? MICHAEL L. LEFEVRE, M.D., M.S.P.H., University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri The American Cancer Society and other national medical organizations emphasize the need for routine screening for prostate cancer in men over the age of 50. The serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assay is the test most commonly recommended for the purpose of screening. However, when PSA screening is examined critically from the standpoint of the principles of screening, evidence from prospective studies to support the routine use of PSA testing is lacking. Data suggest that screening often detects what may be indolent, nonaggressive prostate cancer. The treatment of such a cancer with radiation or radical prostatectomy can result in significant morbidity, including urinary incontinence and impotence, without a proven decrease in mortality. Evidence from randomized clinical trials in support of routine PSA screening is urgently needed. T he purpose of screening tests is to identify disease in asymptomatic persons at a stage when treatment will alter the natural history of the condition. There is now a widespread call to incorporate routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer into the care of men over age 50. However, little prospective evidence shows that the benefits of such testing outweigh the risks. The ideal way to assess the efficacy of screening is with prospective randomized clinical trials; unfortunately, no such trial of prostate cancer screening has been conducted.

REAL ESTATE SEARCH: Top 20 E-mailed Articles washingtonpost.com Health Testosterone Linked To Prostate Cancer Older Men With Higher Level Are at Risk Reuters Monday, May 10, 2004; Page A02 Men older than 50 who have higher levels of testosterone have a higher risk of prostate cancer, U.S. researchers reported yesterday. The findings may mean that men should be cautious about a new kind of treatment called testosterone replacement therapy, being tested in older men who see a decline in general health and vigor. A study of more than 750 men showed those with the highest levels of free testosterone in the blood were the most likely to have prostate cancer. "Since testosterone replacement therapy increases the amount of free testosterone in the blood, older men considering or receiving testosterone replacement should be counseled as to the association until data from long-term clinical trials becomes available," J. Kellogg Parsons, a urologist at Johns Hopkins University who led the study, said in a statement. The association between free testosterone and prostate cancer risk in older men was not affected by height, weight, percent of body fat or muscle mass, Parsons told a meeting of the American Urological Association in San Francisco.

Home Site Map Cancer Types Treatments ... About Prostate Cancer Web Directory Home Cancer Types Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer accounts for over a quater of all cancers in men. The prostate is a small male sex gland located below the bladder, it produces fluid that becomes semen. Prostate cancer occurs mostly in older men, it is rare before the age of 50, and the risk increases with age. There has been an increase in the incidence of prostate cancer since the early 1980's, most likely due to an increased use of screening using the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. However, the role as screening for prostate cancer remains controversial. World-wide about 395,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.
