Prostate Gland Size May Be Linked To Cancer's Severity.
HealthDay (11/02/12, Dallas) reported, "The size of a man's prostate gland may help doctors predict the severity of his prostate cancer, according to a new study" published in the Journal of Urology. Researchers "analyzed about 1,250 cases of prostate cancer among men who had their prostate gland removed but were considered to be low-risk because their cancer was classified as low grade." The investigators "found smaller prostates that produce higher levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood are more often linked to serious forms of prostate cancer that require aggressive treatment."
Brachytherapy For Prostate Cancer May Lead To Fewer Side Effects Than Surgery, EBRT. WebMD (1/2/12, Laino) reports, "For most men with prostate cancer," Brachytherapy "is associated with fewer serious side effects than either surgery to remove the prostate or" external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).
