The recommendations for prostate cancer screening have changed. Here’s what men need to know to protect themselves.
A UNC Lineberger researcher was first-author of a report published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that details guidelines for the active surveillance of men with low-risk prostate cancer. The guidelines, originally authored by Cancer Care Ontario, were reviewed and endorsed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology with some revisions.
The research team included Dr. Paul Godley of the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy has become the most commonly used type of radiation in prostate cancer, but research from UNC suggests that the therapy may not be more effective than older, less expensive forms of radiation therapy in patients who have had a prostatectomy.
The study is the first published population-based examination of racial disparities in prostate cancer treatment delay.
A new study finds that a treatment for localized prostate cancer known as Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is better than conventional conformal radiation therapy (CRT) for reducing certain side effects and preventing cancer recurrence.
After a 20-year quest, researchers have identified a rare, inherited mutation linked to a significantly higher risk of the disease.
