Download or read book The Prostate Cancer Primer written by Nicholas Hild and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of advances in medical technologies is beginning to reveal that Prostate Cancer is a much larger problem than the general public perceives. Newer tools for diagnosing tiny microscopic cancer cells in younger men have caused the medical community to recommend that men in their early 40's get a PSA Cancer screen with routine physical exams, instead of waiting until they are in their late 50's, only then to discover cancer is present. The medical community is not doing a good job of communicating that we may be heading for a pandemic if diagnosis and treatment is not routinely conducted in younger and younger men. The Prostate Cancer Primer is the culmination of a research professor's intense effort to: *learn about current options that are available for preventing cancer; *suggestions for understanding what currently available treatment options their are, complete with side-effects; *how to choose which treatment is right for today's health-conscious adult man and his family. Oncologists and urologists interviewed for this Primer are in basic agreement that too little communication exists between the medical community and men who need to know what their prostate options are. This compilation of research is aimed at filling that void, for all men who are interested in living a healthful life.

Download or read book Prostate Cancer Methods and Protocols written by Pamela J. Russell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the second leading cancer in men in Western society. A major concern, and an area of intensive research, involves understanding why certain prostate cancers remain localized or indolent, whereas others become aggressive and metastasize. The differences between these cancer types have profound implications for patients and physicians. Indolent d- ease, which grows very slowly, generally does not cause any problems to the patient, whereas aggressive disease requires immediate treatment, the earlier the better. At present, there are no markers that discriminate between these two entities, thus causing a dilemma for the management of patients who have recently been diagnosed. The aim of Prostate Cancer Methods and Protocols is to explore cutting-edge molecular methods that may have the potential to reveal markers of disease for use in more accurate diagnoses of prostate c- cer and, consequently, to lead to new treatment strategies. This book provides a comprehensive collection of both in vitro and in vivo step-by-step protocols currently used by leaders in prostate cancer research, advice on approaches that can be used in the study of prostate cancer, as well as reviews covering areas less amenable to laboratory research, such as environmental factors in prostate cancer, to provide the reader with an overview of the prostate cancer research field as it currently stands.
Download or read book The Prostate Cancer Owner s Manual written by Harley A. Haynes, MD and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital overview of prostate cancer for the millions of men that are suffering and their loved ones The moment the family doctor says, “You might have prostate cancer,” most patients immediately ask themselves, “Am I going to die?” Their life is turned upside down as they are faced with a scary new reality they likely know little about. Patients must familiarize themselves with strange new medical terminology, tests, procedures, and, worst of all, major changes to their bodies. The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual offers clarity on these topics to help readers and their loved ones get through this life-changing diagnosis that will take years to overcome. Harley Haynes, MD, and Richard Miles have both been there and done that. As prostate cancer survivors, they understand the questions that recently diagnosed patients have and the challenges they face. Here, they provide a blend of medical expertise and personal knowledge and insight to help patients and their families make sense of the road ahead of them—equipping them with the facts they need to make informed decisions and confront prostate cancer head on. Haynes and Miles answer the questions readers may have and detail the possible outcomes they will face—without mincing words about the tough realities of living with prostate cancer—while offering hope for recovery.

Download or read book Functional Characterization of Two Novel Human Prostate Cancer Metastasis Related Genes written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose to identify the functional characterization of two novel cancer-specific, metastasis-related genes whose constitutive expression may be pivotal for prostate cancer progression. Work accomplished was performed based on the proposed statement of work. We have characterized the full-length cDNAs of the Seq1 and Seq2 genes using at least three 5' and '3 rapid amplifications of cDNA ends (RACE) commercial kits (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA, BD Bioscience (Clontech Inc), and Seegene, Rockville, MD). To optimize the PCR conditions for each kit, we had designed several sets of gene-specific primers (GSP;23-28 nt long) with 50-70% GC and Tm of 55 to 75 degrees C for each gene. We have also designed several sets of nested GSPs to verify our cloned genes. Because of unique secondary structures, high GC content, short SSH sequences, and low levels of expression of these genes in prostate cancer cell lines, we had great deal of difficulty in accomplishing this task in a timely fashion. As such, we devised different strategies for the first-strand synthesis using a modified oligo(dT) primers (5'-CDS primer or 3'-CDS primer), and Smart oligo II primer under various conditions. The full-length cDNA sequences were subcloned into mammalian expression vectors (Invitrogen) and ready to be used for generation of recombinant proteins and antibody production.
