At Monash University, a groundbreaking all-female research team is leading the charge against prostate cancer, proving that smashing gender barriers doesn't just empower women—it saves lives. Four generations of women scientists are now working together to find better treatments for the most common cancer in men.
Scientists at NYU Langone Health discovered small plastic fragments in most prostate cancer tumors they examined, with cancerous tissue containing twice as much plastic as healthy tissue. While the finding doesn't prove microplastics cause cancer, it highlights a potential health concern and the need for more research.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute discovered why half of prostate cancers resist treatment and identified a potential solution already approved by the FDA. The breakthrough could transform care for 700,000 men diagnosed with this cancer type annually.
Columbia researchers discovered a gene that drives deadly prostate cancer and found an FDA-approved drug that could stop it. The breakthrough offers hope for men whose cancer stops responding to standard treatment.
A leukemia survivor and a researcher who beat cancer are driving groundbreaking pediatric cancer research at Purdue University, inspired by beloved student Tyler Trent. Their work focuses on making treatments safer and more effective for kids fighting cancer.
University of Michigan researchers discovered that combining two existing drugs significantly slowed the growth of treatment-resistant prostate cancer in lab and animal studies. The breakthrough offers new hope for men with aggressive forms of the disease that no longer respond to standard treatments.
Nine years after his prostate cancer diagnosis, Dr. Edward Loftspring is giving back to the foundation whose research transformed his treatment. His story shows how collaborative science saves lives.
Prostate cancer patients can now join a groundbreaking trial testing three simple strategies to protect their hearts while receiving lifesaving hormone therapy. City of Hope researchers are comparing intermittent fasting, GLP-1 medication, and heart-healthy lifestyle guidelines to keep patients healthier through treatment.
Men with the most aggressive form of prostate cancer are seeing promising results from an experimental drug that helps existing treatments work longer. Researchers at MUSC and Emory University found the therapy could delay disease progression when standard options stop working.
Scientists at UCLA discovered how to make targeted cancer drugs more effective against deadly prostate cancer by combining them with a protein blocker. The breakthrough could help patients whose cancer stopped responding to standard treatments.
Scientists at UCLA have discovered how to make a promising cancer therapy work better against deadly prostate cancer by combining two drugs that attack tumors from different angles. The breakthrough could help thousands of men whose cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments.
Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs announced he's officially cancer-free, two years after his prostate cancer diagnosis. The 67-year-old legend is now encouraging men everywhere to get tested early.
Scientists discovered how prostate cancer cells hijack amino acids from food to resist treatment, opening the door to new therapies that could combine diet changes with existing drugs. The breakthrough could help thousands of men whose cancer stops responding to hormone therapy.
Scientists created a breakthrough tool that helps the immune system finally recognize and destroy prostate cancer, which normally hides from treatment. The technology could transform care for multiple hard-to-treat cancers.
A breakthrough imaging test causes aggressive prostate cancer cells to light up like bright spots, helping doctors identify which men actually need invasive biopsies. Australian researchers found the scan safely reduced biopsies by 50% without missing a single harmful cancer.
Cancer survivors rang bells and shared stories as Marco Island's Imagination Ball combined timeless elegance with lifesaving purpose. The American Cancer Society fundraiser brought the community together to support research that could one day end cancer diagnoses.
The American Cancer Society's Game Changer Gala takes place this Saturday in Las Vegas, bringing together survivors and supporters to fund critical cancer research. Colon cancer survivor Tori Lyons will share her story at the event.
A dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors just launched their biggest fundraiser yet, pledging $150,000 for local cancer research while bringing patients, doctors, and researchers together. They're proving that the fight against cancer doesn't end with survival.
Scientists in Sweden created a fully human antibody that stopped aggressive prostate cancer from growing and spreading in early studies. The experimental treatment works through a unique mechanism that could make it safer than current options.
A major new review finds prostate cancer screening saves lives, reversing earlier doubts and offering hope for better early detection. The research shows two fewer deaths per 1,000 men screened when paired with good medical care.
