A multi-center study by New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center found a urine test can determine if a patient has high-grade prostate cancer with 92% accuracy. The findings were presented at the AUA 2015 Annual Meeting. This study could present a breakthrough in how doctors screen for prostate cancer.
Read MoreMen diagnosed with prostate cancer that has not metastasized generally have a long life expectancy. Most men with prostate cancer don’t die from the disease, but instead die of unrelated causes. This study looks at to what extent post-diagnostic diet may affect disease-specific and overall mortality.

Read MoreAccording to a new study at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, men who have had testicular cancer may have an increased risk for prostate cancer. While there have been previous studies that have shown an increased risk of prostate cancer in men who have previously had testicular cancer, this is the first one to observe the risk of getting intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer.
Read MoreResearchers from the Pharmacology Department at the Indiana University School of Medicine may have found a future way to cure prostate cancer that metastasizes to the bone.
