ScienceDaily (May 18, 2007) — It turns out Mom was right – you should eat your broccoli. But what Mom may not have known is why broccoli is so healthy, and how its lesser known, younger offshoot may be a powerful anti-cancer agent.
Researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have found that sulforaphane – a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy and brussels sprouts – has strong anti-cancer properties.

Does a Man’s Estrogen Level Impact His Risk of Prostate Cancer?
ScienceDaily (Apr. 22, 2010) — A high level of one type of estrogen in a man’s body might increase his risk of developing prostate cancer. That is one surprising conclusion from a new study which also offers another novel finding — that high levels of the estrogen considered fuel for breast cancer might offer a protective benefit against prostate cancer.

New Tool to Help Study Prostate Cancer Developed
ScienceDaily (Apr. 14, 2010) — Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) researchers have developed a new method to better study the cells that line and protect the prostate in relation to the development of cancer. Using the model, they found that normal cells and cancer cells depend on different factors to survive, which could aid in discovering how to target cancer cells without affecting normal cells when developing treatments.
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, with more than 192,000 new cases and more than 27,000 deaths reported in the United States in 2009 (Source: National Cancer Institute).

The Hot — And Cold — Interventional Radiology Treatments for Recurrent Prostate Cancer
ScienceDaily (Apr. 5, 2010) — The first known patient cases using magnetic resonance-guided heat (laser interstitial thermal therapy) or cold (cryoablation) to treat prostate cancer recurrence after surgical removal of the prostate gland were presented by physicians at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 35th Annual Scientific Meeting in Tampa. Many of these patients have also failed salvage radiation treatment and are often presented with limited therapeutic options. MR-guided focal therapy offers a new treatment choice for patients because of the improved detection of early symptoms prostate cancer recurrences best seen with MR imaging.

Medroxyprogesterone best for hot flushes in prostate cancer
Medroxyprogesterone should become the standard treatment for preventing hot flushes in men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer, researchers suggest. Hot flushes are a common side effect in men undergoing hormone therapy, however direct comparisons have not been made to establish clear recommendations between treatments, the researchers wrote in The Lancet Oncology. More than 900 men with prostate cancer were initially treated with the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue leuprorelin. After 6 months, patients who had 14 or more hot flushes in the week before assessment or those who spontaneously requested treatment were randomly assigned to further treatment with either venlafaxine (n = 102), medroxyprogesterone (n = 108), or cyproterone acetate (n = 101). Overall, all treatments were effective in reducing hot flushes; however cyproterone acetate and medroxyprogesterone were significantly more effective than venlafaxine. At four weeks after treatment, median daily hot-flush scores improved by more than 47% in men receiving venlafaxine, nearly 95% for those on cyproterone and almost 84% for medroxyprogesterone. The association was similar at four, eight and 12 weeks after treatment. The researchers noted that while cyproterone is a recognised treatment in prostate cancer, it could interfere with hormonal therapy. “We therefore consider that medroxyprogesterone should be considered the standard treatment for hot flushes in men undergoing androgen suppression for prostate cancer,” they concluded. They added that their study also highlighted that a significant number of patients with hot flushes do not seek treatment, as only 22% of those enrolled requested further treatment. “In our view, this justifies the recommendation not to systematically prevent hot flushes in all patients on initiation of an androgen-suppressing treatment.”

Coffee consumption associated with reduced risk of advanced prostate cancer
ScienceDaily (2009-12-08) — While it is too early for physicians to start advising their male patients to take up the habit of regular coffee drinking, new data revealed a strong inverse association between coffee consumption and the risk of lethal and advanced prostate cancers.
