Book Current Progress in Prostate Cancer Research

Download or read book Current Progress in Prostate Cancer Research written by Peter Hayes and published by Foster Academics. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prostate is an endocrine gland of the male reproductive system, which secretes the alkaline fluid component of semen. The cancer which develops in the prostate is known as prostate cancer. In the initial stage, it may not cause any symptom, but it can cause several complications in the later stage. Some of the common symptoms include problems associated with urination, like frequent urination, nocturia, hematuria and dysuria. It may also cause problems associated with sexual organs, such as painful ejaculation and difficulty in achieving erection. Ultrasound, digital rectal examination (DRE), cystoscopy, transrectal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are some of the common diagnostic methods useful in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Treatment methods include radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy. Prostate cancer research is an upcoming field of medical research that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Book Recent Advances in Prostate Cancer

Download or read book Recent Advances in Prostate Cancer written by Donald J. Tindall and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book effectively summarizes our knowledge of recent advances in prostate cancer. It focuses on our state-of-the-art understanding of risk factors, prevention, detection, prognosis and treatment of prostate cancer and identifies basic science findings that are being translated into clinical practice. In addition, the book singles out key areas of research that have potential for clinical translation. Both basic scientists and clinicians will be invited to provide up-to-date reviews in each area of prostate cancer. During the last decade the pace of clinical discovery and the scientific advances in prostate cancer have been very rapid. For instance, currently there are more than 100 drugs in the pharmaceutical pipeline that have the potential for clinical management of prostate cancer. Therefore, it has been very difficult for clinicians and basic scientists to keep pace with the field as a whole. Recently, some of these discoveries are already having an impact on clinical practice. For example, the discovery of the androgen receptor gene amplification in prostate cancer has led to the development of a OC super-antiandrogenOCO, which is being tested in clinical trials. Also, recent knowledge of androgen synthesis in prostate cancer cells has led to clinical trials with steroid-metabolism inhibitors. Finally, robotic surgery has also dramatically changed clinical practice. Thus, this important book serves to provide readers with a one-stop overview of the field of prostate cancer research and its translation into the clinical arena."

Book Management of Prostate Cancer

Download or read book Management of Prostate Cancer written by Eric A. Klein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-05-07 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much progress has been made in the four years since the first edition of Management of Prostate Cancer, prostate cancer remains a significant biological, me- cal, and personal challenge for millions of men. In this interval, some important trends and observations have emerged that represent real progress in the field and which will shape the direction of clinical practice and research in the next 5–10 years. These obs- vations include: (1) a decline in prostate-related cancer mortality in the United States, likely owing to a combination of factors including screening, more aggressive and earlier therapy, and improvements in specific therapies; (2) a significant downward pathological stage migration, so that an individual’s chance of cure for a given stage, grade, and PSA is better now than it was early in the PSA era, even without associated improvements in individual therapies; (3) the recognition of new PSA isoforms that may refine screening strategies; (4) several randomized, phase III clinical trials demonstrating survival adv- tages of one form of therapy over another in selected populations (external beam rad- therapy with adjuvant hormones vs radiotherapy alone, radical prostatectomy vs observation); (5) a focus on the biology of bone and bone metastasis, and new agents that reduce skeletal-related events and which may inhibit the growth of new metastases; (6) second-generation anti-PSMA antibodies with improved potential for imaging and therapy; (7) the development and widespread adoption of nomograms that assist in cli- cal decision-making for individual patients; (8) the identification of new genes that

Book Early Stage Prostate Cancer

Download or read book Early Stage Prostate Cancer written by Kevin M. McKay and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCA) is one of the most prevalent male cancers nationally, and prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates are higher in Mississippi than the national average for all racial groups. There is currently no "gold standard" treatment modality for early stage (T1-T2) prostate cancer primarily due to a lack of research comparing the various treatment modalities in a systematic manner over an extended time frame. As such, there is an array of viable treatment options that include, but are not limited to: prostatectomy via surgical excision; radiation therapy via brachytherapy; or external beam radiation therapy delivered by a linear accelerator. These three broad treatment modality types have been subdivided and become more specialized with the introduction of technological advancements. Current research suggests that these treatment modalities have similar outcomes in terms of efficacy for early stage (T1-T2) prostate cancer, with the main differences being the possibility of adverse side effects that vary by treatment modality type. While there has been some research regarding early stage (T1-T2) prostate cancer treatment modality utilization in other states, there is currently a dearth of information regarding prostate cancer treatment modalities in Mississippi. This research provides a needed analysis of early stage (T1-T2) prostate cancer treatments in Mississippi by examining the utilization of treatment modalities and demographic data including race, geographic location, and insurance status. This analysis could help explain variations in prostate cancer treatments and outcomes for African Americans and Caucasians, as well as rural versus urban residents. This information could also be a valuable resource for state entities, individual and corporate health care providers, and individual patients and their families. Methods: This research includes: (1) an analysis of the Mississippi Cancer Registry data set to provide a framework for this research to be as comprehensive and innovative as possible in regard to the variables under examination; (2) the correlation of patient demographic data to treatment modalities; and (3) an analysis of data from 2007 until 2011. The data set from the Mississippi Cancer Registry contained 9,382 patient records. Pertinent demographic data included race, age at diagnosis, date of diagnosis, date of treatment, date of death, stage and grade, county of residence, insurance status, and treatment modality. The Mississippi State Department of Rural Health list of rural counties was used to differentiate between rural and urban counties in order to identify potential areas of reduced access to health care within the state. Pearson's Chi-square test was used to study if treatment modality utilization differs by patients' demographics and their insurance status; binary logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were conducted to investigate factors associated with treatment modality utilization. Results: Analysis of the Mississippi Cancer Registry data set showed that there was a statistically significant difference in treatment modality utilization with regard to race,. geographic location, and insurance status. Conclusion: The statistical analysis indicated that a patient's geographic location within Mississippi, as well as their race and insurance status, had a statistically significant difference in the treatment modality utilized for the treatment of early stage (T1-T2) prostate cancer. This research could provide a valuable resource that would allow for more concrete planning with regards to improving health care access for patients with early stage (T1-T2) PCA, equipment purchasing decisions for treatment providers, coverage decisions for insurance providers, and individual patients with PCA having more information available to them and their family members to make informed decisions.
