Nicholas Bakalar’s article published this past September, he describes a new study that describes the effects of vasectomies on prostate cancer. This new study produced results that contradicted previous conclusions done on similar studies. In previous studies, there was a proven connection between the two, meaning men who had vasectomies had a higher chance of getting prostate cancer. However, the researchers from this study concluded that there was no correlation between the two variables.…

Prostate laser surgery is a procedure to eliminate prostate tissue. There are two types of prostate laser surgery: ablation (prostate tissue is melted away) and enucleation (prostate tissue is cut out).

That PSA anxiety hammers away at your mind on a daily basis, draining your energy and finally reducing your resistance to nothing, only to be inflated again by the good news of a negative rise. A PSA test is widely accepted as an invaluable tool in detecting prostate cancer. In the…

Ever since the discovery of recurrent gene fusions in prostate cancer in 20053, several prostate cancer specific molecular aberrations have been identified and are potentially targetable with specific inhibitors (Figure 1). Despite the high prevalence, the clinical utility and association of these markers with disease progression has not been firmly established. It may be due to the fact that the estimates on the prevalence of these molecular markers and clinical correlation analyses were based…

from benign tumors and malignant tumors produce tumor markers which can be present in blood, spinal fluid, and in urine (McCance & Huether, 2013).
