Prostate Cancer
More radiation does not increase survival in low-risk prostate cancer
Higher doses of radiation does not increase survival rates in low-risk prostate cancer.
Targeted PSA screening prevents overdiagnosis, overtreatment
More targeted efforts needed for prostate-specific antigen screening.
Radiation, hormone therapy for prostate cancer
Combination radiation and hormone therapy is more effective than hormone therapy alone for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Primary care after PCa
PCPs should encourage physical activity, smoking cessation, and a healthy diet for PCa survivors.
New imaging methods better for prostate CA detection
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging reported high accuracy in diagnosing low-risk prostate cancers.
Prostate cancer care measures vary by region
Low adherence rates for prostate cancer care may be target for future quality improvements.
Prostatectomy cuts mortality in early prostate CA
Risk of long-term mortality is lower compared with watchful waiting.
Melatonin linked to lower prostate CA risk
Risk for advanced prostate cancer was 75% lower in men with high levels of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin — a measure of melatonin breakdown in urine.

Even after adjustment, acute, chronic inflammation linked to lower PCa risk at two-year repeat biopsy.
