Mon, 14 Aug 2023 12:22:44 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230814122244.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230814122018.htm Patients with localized prostate cancer have a good chance of survival, but mortality rates among those with advanced, metastatic forms of the condition remain high. Until now, the precise mechanism behind the spread of the tumor has not been fully explained. But an international research team has succeeded in decoding the underlying cellular signal pathway and has carried out research using a common diabetes medication that could provide a new treatment option.

Now, researchers have developed the first therapy of its kind that disrupts prostate cancer cells' metabolism and releases cisplatin into the weakened cells, causing them to die. In mouse models, an orally administered version shrunk tumors substantially.

Compared with XTANDI plus placebo, the investigatory combination of TALZENNA and XTANDI demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in radiographic progression-free survival.

New research shows that the Prostate Screening EpiSwitch (PSE) blood test is 94 per cent accurate -- beating the currently used prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. The research team say that the new test shows significant potential as an accurate and rapid cancer screening diagnostic.

It triggers immune cells to attack, helps the immune cells penetrate the tumor, and cuts off the tumor's ability to burn testosterone as fuel, according to new research. Wed, 23 Nov 2022 11:42:07 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/11/221123114207.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/11/221109085809.htm Researchers have found a new theranostic compound that effectively shrinks prostate tumor in mice. Theranostics is a cancer treatment that involves finding cancer cells anywhere in the body and delivering targeted radiation to kill those cells, by drugs that contain radioactive isotopes. It means that this compound could be a promising option for treating hormone-resistant metastases in patients with recurrent cancers.

Forty percent of those patients experienced progression-free survival, based on radiographic imaging Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:56:50 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/11/221102135650.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/10/221003110230.htm New epigenetic biomarkers to predict more aggressive forms of prostate cancer have been discovered.

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 12:45:13 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/09/220922124513.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/09/220921210011.htm Researchers have made an important discovery about how prostate cancer may start to develop. A new study reveals that the prostate as a whole, including cells that appear normal, is different in men with prostate cancer. It suggests that tissue cells throughout the whole prostate are primed and ready to develop prostate cancer. This means that it may be better to treat the whole prostate rather than only the areas in the prostate that have cancer. The team hope their work could help scientists better understand the causes of prostate cancer, and even prevent it altogether.

The research concluded that considering genetic risk could improve referrals for those in need -- and importantly, avoid invasive biopsy investigations for those at low risk of cancer. Assessing genetic risk in primary care could lead to earlier diagnosis for men most at risk of prostate cancer.

Now, researchers have found that while these efforts have been effective, the incidence of higher-grade disease and metastasis at diagnosis have risen.

These molecules may be used as single or combination therapy for patients with advanced disease to prevent and treat metastatic spread.

However, about 20% of patients develop incurable metastatic prostate cancer, resulting in approximately 5,000 deaths each year in Austria alone. Medical research has not yet adequately explained why metastases occur in some people and not in others. A research team has now discovered specific changes in a protein that drive the growth and spread of prostate cancer.

They found that, by setting a risk threshold above which men are counted as 'screen positive', the approach would reduce the number of false positives by three quarters compared to a standard PSA test, while catching the same proportion of cancers.

Previously, the team's Prostate Urine Risk (PUR) test could identify men with high and low risk cancers. But thanks to some fine-tuning, it can now help men with intermediate-risk disease - for whom treatment options had been less clear.

Annual PSA tests were eight times more likely to spot cancer in men with genetic hallmarks of Lynch syndrome than those without. Experts say evidence could be incorporated into a targeted screening program in future.

Scientists revealed how gut bacteria contribute to the progression of advanced prostate cancers and their resistance to hormone therapy -- by providing an alternative source of growth-promoting androgens, or male hormones. The findings, once further validated in the clinic, could provide new opportunities for the treatment of prostate cancer through manipulation of the microbiome.

Now, the same research group shows that the addition of a novel blood test, the Stockholm3 test, can reduce the number of MRIs performed by a third while further preventing the detection of minor, low-risk tumors.

However, new research has found that anti-androgen treatment can actually facilitate prostate cancer cells to adapt and grow in the bone tumor microenvironment model developed by biomedical scientists.
