Clinical applicability of newly discovered reagents for molecular imaging is hampered by the lack of translational models. As the dog prostate cancer (DPC-1) model recapitulates in dogs the natural history of prostate cancer in man, we tested the feasibi
Prostate cancer in dogs can be classified into two histopathological groups: prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) [1]. Both are typically characterized by metastasis, local invasiveness, androgen-independence and chemoresistance [2,3], which is why they have been propose...
As the dog prostate cancer (DPC-1) model recapitulates in dogs the natural history of prostate cancer in man, we tested the feasibility of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT imaging in this model using an anti-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)/17G1 antibody as the ...
This model is unique by its ability to grow in dogs despite the elimination of immunosuppression. The close monitoration of tumor growth allows investigation of targeted therapies for localized and locally advanced high-risk prostate cancer. Also, by having a lower urinary tract that presents ...
He added that bringing dogs into prostate cancer detection could be particularly problematic. A debate currently is raging over whether prostate cancer is overdetected and overtreated, given that most men develop the cancer late in their life and end up dying of other causes. Those who are treat...
Spontaneous prostate cancer (PCA) is known to occur only in humans and in dogs. The disease occurs at advancing age in both species and, similar to late stage PCA in humans, canine prostate tumors are able to grow in an androgen-depleted environment. Serum concentrations of androgens may expl...
Dr. Taverna sees the results as a 'real clinical opportunity'. The hope is that the findings will lead to a scenario where specially trained dogs could provide a non-invasive method of cancer detection. More information:"Olfactory System of Highly Trained Dogs Detects Prostate Cancer in Urine ...
A diet that helps you stay at a healthy weight may cut your chances of having prostate cancer. These steps can help: Choose whole-grain breads, pasta, and cereals over refined grain products. Cut back on red meats, especially processed meats such as hot dogs, bologna, and certain lunch me...
