Is prostate cancer curable? Prostate cancer is often curable if it's diagnosed in its early stages. What is the longest you can live with metastatic prostate cancer? The average 5-year survival rate for advanced prostate cancer is 34%, but your outlook depends on your individual case. While...
The rate at which serum PSA levels change (PSA velocity) may be an important indicator of the presence of life-threatening disease. Methods: PSA velocity was determined in 980 men (856 without prostate cancer, 104 with prostate cancer who were alive or died of another cause, and 20 who ...
Cancer that has spread beyond the prostate (such as to the bones, lymph nodes, and lungs) is not curable, but it may be controlled for many years. Because of the many advances in treatments, most men whose prostate cancer becomes widespread can expect to live 5 years or more. Some men...
Can Prostate Cancer Kill You? Yes. Like any other cancer, prostate cancer is a potential killer. However, this is true of the metastasized prostate cancer that has remained undiagnosed for a long time. The disease is vastly curable when diagnosed early. What Are the 5 Warning Signs of Prosta...
Potentially curable prostate cancer is a diagnostic challenge for the general practitioner (GP). In a defined catchment area we wanted to discover why patients consulted their GPs and the reasons for their referral to the urologist.Patients remitted to our "early prostate cancer clinic" with suspe...
Home to the journal Oncology, Cancer Network provides research and opinion on the screening, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancers.
What’s the bottom line here? Prostate cancer is generally overtreated in America. We’re moving to educate men so they make the best decision. Dr. Jeremy Lieb urologist “In the PSA era, the death rate from prostate cancer went down 40 percent. Those of us in the field don’t want...
1 Thus, the detection of prostate cancer in its potentially curable stages requires the use of low PSA cutoffs for screening, which leads to many unnecessary biopsies. Prostate-specific antigen exists in multiple forms in serum and is predominantly complexed to protease inhibitors; however, one ...
and function13. EVs play a crucial role in both physiology and in the pathogenesis of diseases, including cancer14. EV and secreted proteomes are hypothesized to be context-driven and tissue-specific15, but their presence, population variability, and disease relevance in urine remain poorly charact...
