Read MoreObesity & Prostate Cancer
/
Doctors have long known that obesity has direct consequences on health and is associated with the onset of aggressive cancers, but the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are little known.
Read MoreMathematics VS. Prostate Cancer
/
A mathematical model that uses four consecutive prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results from a patient who had prostate cancer surgery can predict the time it might take for the disease to relapse.

If your man is diagnosed with prostate cancer, his 15-year relative survival rate is 95 percent – and it can be even higher if you are standing by him for the battle.
Read MoreControlling Prostate Cancer
/
Scientists have engineered a sort of “biological barbell” that can get inside cancer cells and do damage to two proteins that work independently and together to enable cancer's survival and spread.
