prostate cancer

It’s here. It’s going to change life as we know it. Are you ready? Are you sure?

The ‘nomogram’ opens the door to improved personalized treatments, a UCLA-led study shows.

Research brief: Improving imaging processes will lead to more successful treatments and help reduce morbidity in men with the disease.

The new method should become the standard of care, say researchers from both universities who validated its effectiveness.

Research brief: Findings from a UCLA study indicate some men may not require the intensive treatment they have traditionally received.

The funds will help advance work in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the disease

The finding suggests that predicting how a person’s cancer will evolve may lie in their inherited genetic material.

The study results have the potential to establish a new standard for using this method to actively monitor prostate cancer.

The observation helps explain why, as people age, the prostate tends to grow, leading to an increased risk for cancer and other conditions.

Research brief: The study recommends that the new procedure should become the standard of care.

50% of treatments could have been avoided using the new tool, a UCLA-led study finds.

Combining biopsy strategies allowed doctors to find up to 33% more cancers.

Research Brief: Researchers compared the system’s results with readings by UCLA doctors who had more than 10 years of experience.

A long-term, UCLA-led study finds that those with low- or intermediate-risk disease can safely cut treatment to four to five days.

Previous research hinted that small cell cancers from different organs may be driven by common mechanisms, but the new study is the first to so clearly describe the steps in their evolution.

The study could lead to new treatments for a range of advanced epithelial cancers such as lung, prostate and bladder cancers.

The state-funded IMPACT program provides access to free treatment for uninsured and underinsured men in California.

UCLA chemistry professor helped develop Erleada, which was recently approved by the FDA for treating an especially lethal form of prostate cancer.

The research is the first of its kind to compare results between radiotherapy treatments that are higher than the standard dose and traditional treatments, such as radiation and prostatectomy.

Software developed by a UCLA urologist helps men avoid decisions they might regret.

UCLA researchers have discovered a previously unrecognized type of progenitor cell that is found in uncommonly high numbers in inflamed areas of the gland.

Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center say findings in new study will help physicians and patients make informed decisions.

The researchers found that an experimental drug called CD532, which changes the structure of a key protein, reduced the size of tumors in mice by 80 percent.

Less than 5 percent of men who chose to forgo aggressive treatment are being monitored as closely as they should be

For the first time, researchers have described the cost throughout the entire treatment process — from the initial doctor’s visit to follow-up appointments.
