What if one of the biggest steps toward protecting the prostate starts at the dinner table? In a landmark study, men who followed a vegan diet, regular walks and stress reduction saw their PSA drop 4%, while PSA rose 6% in men who made no changes. Now the NCCN's 2026 survivorship guidelines say healthy living can lower the chance of some cancers coming back. keep reading

Can I live the rest of my life without the cancer coming back? That simple question sits at the heart of a recent opinion piece in Urology Times. Even after surgery or radiation with intent to cure, 20 to 40% of prostatectomy patients see a rising PSA within 10 years, and many men feel anxious before every follow-up test. keep reading

Harrison Ford traded meat and dairy for vegetables and fruit, and at 84 he has never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. One man is not proof, but the research is piling up. Studies of men on Active Surveillance now link plant-based eating to a lower chance of prostate cancer turning more aggressive over time, which could delay the need for treatment. keep reading

Is every prostate cancer a death threat? Many men assume so the moment they hear the word cancer. Yet experts now say grade 1 disease, the lowest grade, rarely causes trouble and may not even deserve the label. Rushing to surgery or radiation for it can bring lasting urinary, sexual, or bowel problems without adding real benefit. keep reading

Not all MRI-targeted biopsies are created equal. Cognitive fusion relies on a doctor's mental map, and software fusion overlays old MRI images onto live ultrasound, which never line up perfectly. In-bore guidance aims the needle under real-time MRI, and study after study shows it detects significant prostate cancer more accurately. keep reading

Most Americans say they eat well, yet nearly three quarters of the U.S. food supply is ultra-processed. A 2026 study adds prostate cancer to the list of risks tied to these foods, and another found that cutting back may ease symptoms of depression and anxiety, a welcome bonus for men facing the stress of a new diagnosis. keep reading

What’s every man’s least favorite medical exam? For many, it’s the digital rectal exam, sometimes called the urologist’s handshake. Beyond the discomfort, the exam can only reach one surface of the prostate and misses most tumors. Now a 2026 study of more than 4,000 men suggests MRI-based staging can replace it without losing accuracy. keep reading

Most men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer will not die from it. Heart disease is the bigger threat, and diet plays a major role. A 2026 study of more than 4,800 patients found that those who ate the most saturated fat after diagnosis had a higher risk of death, while swapping even a little animal fat for plant fat lowered it. keep reading

For years, men with low-risk prostate cancer had two options and nothing in between: remove or irradiate the whole gland, or leave it alone and watch. About half who chose watching later quit, and most of them had no evidence their cancer had changed at all. Focal laser ablation closes that gap, and it changes the calculation entirely. keep reading

No study has ever compared focal laser ablation and radiation head to head. The two fields even define failure differently, one by the need for retreatment and the other by a rising PSA. That makes a fair comparison harder than it looks, and makes understanding what each number actually measures essential before choosing. keep reading
