For men with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

Apalutamide Active in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Apalutamide prolongs metastasis-free survival in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are associated with increased recurrence among men with prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy

Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome Ups Risk of Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Following radical prostatectomy, higher BMI increases risk of recurrence for prostate cancer
High adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer

Mediterranean Diet May Lower Risk of Aggressive Prostate CA

Prudent or Western pattern diets had no association with prostate cancer risk
Urban American Indians and Alaskan Natives with cancer have a significantly higher comorbidity burden

Mortality Up for Some Cancers in Urban-Dwelling Native Americans

Urban American Indians and Alaskan Natives with cancer have significantly higher comorbidity burden
Biennial biopsies are an acceptable alternative to annual biopsies for men managing low-risk prostate cancer through active surveillance

Less Frequent Biopsy May Be Option in Prostate Cancer Care

Consequences of biennial versus annual biopsies similar during active surveillance
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has heterogeneity in positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging phenotype

Heterogeneity of PET/CT Imaging Phenotype Prognostic in mCRPC

Assessments of androgen receptor, glycolysis prognostic in castration-resistant prostate Cancer
The HSD3B1 (1245C) allele is associated with more rapid development of metastases in men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer

Genetic Variant Tied to Prostate Cancer Outcomes

Time to metastasis, length of survival vary by number of HSD3B1 (1245C) variant alleles
The number of centers performing robotic surgery for radical prostatectomy increased during 2010 to 2014

Increase in Number of Centers Doing Robotic Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy centers that closed from '10 to '14 more likely in areas with strong competition
For men with prostate cancer there is no difference in acute genitourinary or sexual dysfunction between 6- and 2-fraction high-dose-rate brachytherapy monotherapy

No Difference in Toxicity for 6-, 2-Fraction HDR in Prostate Cancer

Urinary, sexual toxicity similar with 6-, 2-fraction high-dose-rate brachytherapy regimen
Re-analysis of evidence suggests that screening does reduce prostate cancer mortality

Re-Analysis Shows Screening Reduces Prostate CA Mortality

In re-analysis, screening conferred 7 to 9 percent reduction in risk in ERSPC and PLCO trials
