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 [...]

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 [...]

‘Regulatory’ Genetic Sequences May Predict Risk For Prostate Cancer
From: ScienceDaily (Aug. 18, 2009) — Prostate Cancer Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel genetic mechanism that may govern an individual’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
The findings, published today in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) Genetics journal, found mechanisms involved in cancer-associated [...]

Epigenetic Signature Changes In Low Oxygen Levels May Contribute To Prostate Cancer Development.
From: ScienceDaily (Aug. 2, 2009) — UCD Conway researchers have characterised epigenetic signature changes in prostate cells under conditions of low oxygen levels that may lead to tumour development. The results of the study published this month in the scientific journal, Human Molecular Genetics may provide important targets for the early detection and manipulation of [...]
