Sandalwood oil extract an effective prostate cancer treatment in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 476 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that, in mouse models of prostate cancer, a compound extracted from sandalwood oil was effective in slowing the onset and growth of tumors and resulted in cell death. Further research will explore whether the extract can be used to treat prostate cancer in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Tumor, Florida Atlantic University
Genetic ringleader responsible for prostate cancer spread identified
Posted by ArielTechGeek 573 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have identified the gene responsible for setting off a cellular chain reaction that causes prostate cancer to metastasize to the bone, making it almost impossible to treat. The discovery could have significant implications for treating prostate cancer and other solid tumor types in which the gene is present.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Genetics, Met
Promising new approach targets aggressive type of prostate cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 659 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives an aggressive form of prostate cancer that doesn’t respond well to typical treatments. Importantly, they also identified a drug currently undergoing clinical trials that can potentially treat it.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Treatment, Cancer, University of Michigan
New prostate cancer biomarkers to help improve diagnosis and treatment
Posted by ArielTechGeek 683 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have identified three new prostate cancer biomarkers that improve the visibility of cancer cells used by pathologists to grade the disease’s severity. The novel technique could assist in determining which patients require urgent treatment and those who don’t, potentially improving treatment outcomes for millions of men.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, B
Largest study of its kind finds new genetic links to prostate cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 819 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Men of African descent are known to have a far higher incidence of prostate cancer than other men. A new meta-analysis, the largest to date, has shed light on why this is so, identifying nine new genetic variants that increase the risk of prostate cancer in men of African ancestry.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Africa, Genetics
