A research team at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), investigated the risk profile of men who have a PSA level at or below what is considered ‘normal.’. The findings show that most men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer appear to under undergo aggressive therapy, even if they have a low prostate-specific antigen […]

UCLA scientists have identified for the first time a cell-of-origin for human prostate cancer. According study team opinion,  this discovery could result in better predictive and diagnostics tools and the development of new and more effective targeted treatments for the disease.
UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers proved that basal cells found in benign prostate tissue […]

A recent report has shown too many men with low-risk prostate cancers, those whose level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is normal or below normal, still receive aggressive treatment.
Recent evidence has shown that among older men with low-risk prostate cancer, it’s not the cancer they die from, but another condition. For these men, watchful waiting is […]

French researchers followed a large group of men aged 65 and older for seven years to investigate link between depression and cholesterol .
Thy found depression in men was linked with low levels of “bad” low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). This association was strongest in men with a genetic vulnerability to depression related to a serotonin transporter […]

Male hypogonadism is commonly diagnosed on the basis of subphysiological concentrations of androgen hormones, and is associated with many symptoms present in advanced cancer. Androgen deficiency might be an important cause of muscle wasting in both cancer cachexia and sarcopenia.
We found no definitive association between nutritional, functional, or quality-of-life characteristics and male hypogonadism. Possible associations […]

Researchers have long known that prostate cancers that spread, or metastasize, often migrate to bone. That idea led a team at the Department of Urology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to investigate whether there is a connection between bone characteristics and prostate cancer development and metastasis.
This new research suggests men who develop […]

According to a new study at University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, due of rising obesity rates in Latin America and the Caribbean, elderly people there are becoming more likely to suffer from disabilities.
Researchers suggests current trends will produce large numbers of people who are especially vulnerable to chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, […]

A Canadian research found that men who drank four 200 ml glasses of milk had double the risk of the disease. Researchers say milk contains cow hormones, including insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), that encourage growth and may help to feed prostate cancer.
The study conclusions are published in The Prostate journal.

Experts agree male sexual arousal is complex. It involves many facts such as the senses, emotions, the brain, hormones, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Even so, most men should be able to enjoy sex to a ripe old age.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the medical term for popular impotence. It defines the condition when a man […]
