Prostate cancer is a case in point.

Does this virus cause prostate cancer?

Screening for prostate cancer, too, requires a blood test the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test.

Prostate cancer. I don't need to give you many statistics about prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer. I don't need to give you many statistics about prostate cancer. Most of you already know it third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.

Mandela was successfully treated for prostate cancer in July 2001.

And this is exactly how one cancer cell becomes two cancer cells, two cancer cells become four cancer cells, and we have ultimately uncontrolled tumor growth.

Elevated PSA levels would suggest the presence of prostate cancer, even if no physical abnormalities were detected, so a tissue biopsy would be conducted.

And yesterday my girlfriend, just found out that her father has prostate cancer.

In prostate cancer, the cells of these prostate glands mutate into cancer cells.

Men with prostate cancer whose PSA level increased by more than 2.0 ng per milliliter during the year before the diagnosis of prostate cancer have a higher risk of death from prostate cancer despite undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Proponents also contend that the two decade decline in the overall incidence of deaths from prostate cancer is the result of increasingly widespread PSA testing.

We heard here yesterday Quyen talking about the adverse event trait in prostate cancer.

Lots of risk factors, but there is a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer.

And this is exactly how one cancer cell becomes two cancer cells, two cancer cells become four cancer cells, and we have ultimately uncontrolled tumor growth.

If you smoke, you damage your lung tissue, and then lung cancer arises.

If you drink, you damage your liver, and then liver cancer occurs.

Prostate cancer also experiences significantly less media coverage than other, equally prevalent cancers, with a study by Prostate Coalition showing 2.6 breast cancer stories for each one covering cancer of the prostate.

In the United States alone there are more than 200,000 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed each year.

We showed a few months ago we published the first study showing you can actually stop or reverse the progression of prostate cancer by making changes in diet and lifestyle, and 70 percent regression in the tumor growth, or inhibition of the tumor growth, compared to only nine percent in the control group.

Most of you already know it third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.

However, prostate cancer can also be present in the complete absence of an elevated PSA level, in which case the test result would be a false negative.

For maybe about 10 percent of prostate cancer, there are folks that are predisposed to it.

Given that many patients diagnosed with prostate cancer as a result of the PSA test would never suffer any symptoms, such consequences are difficult to justify.

Active surveillance programs are an encouraging prospect for minimizing the negative consequences of PSA testing.

So the data that we collect for prostate cancer or for Alzheimer's trials goes into silos where it can only be used for prostate cancer or for Alzheimer's research.

Leukemia cells treated with this compound turn into normal white blood cells.

Active surveillance programs are an encouraging prospect for minimizing the negative consequences of PSA testing. But, without vastly improved screening practices, prostate cancer screening is unlikely to help and can even do serious harm.

This represents 2.9 of all cancers (excluding simple basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers) in the United States, and 30.4 of all blood cancers.

The discovery could also work to prevent hereditary breast cancer cells from growing into tumors.

Because the average age at diagnosis is 71 73, men are likely to die from other causes before prostate cancer claims their life.

The USPSTF recently issued an even sharper warning about the prostate specific antigen test for prostate cancer, after concluding that the test s harms outweigh its benefits.

But what's even more interesting from this study, is that in those men who did develop prostate cancer, those who ate more servings of tomato sauce, actually had fewer blood vessels feeding their cancer.

This is an example from Karen Burg's lab, where they're using inkjet technologies to print breast cancer cells and study its progressions and treatments.

But, without vastly improved screening practices, prostate cancer screening is unlikely to help and can even do serious harm.

It received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for use in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer patients on April 29, 2010.

With the average life expectancy after castration, there are approximately a half million chemically or surgically castrated prostate cancer patients at any time in the U.S. alone.

Although the rates vary widely between countries, it is least common in South and East Asia, and more common in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

So something like a prostatectomy the prostate is small, and it's in one spot, and you can set your robot up very precisely to work in that one spot.

Cancer or leukemia...

Cancer.

In an active surveillance program, a patient diagnosed with a PSA prompted biopsy delays treatment. Instead, he is closely monitored with various follow up tests.

It's in the liver, in the breast, in the prostate.
