Let’s face it, guys. We’re not getting any younger. In fact, society is getting older. The Population Reference Bureau tells us that in the U.S, the number of those age 65 and up is expected to nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060... keep reading
Does PSA screening reduce PCa mortality, or doesn’t it? We know that PSA is not specific for cancer, since many prostate conditions can cause a rise in PSA blood levels. We also know that an elevated PSA can lead to a conventional TRUS-guided biopsy, and that such biopsies can either miss prostate cancer or... keep reading

There could be another way to prevent prostate cancer – that is, exercise. According to HealthDay News, a new study has shown that regular exercise can help protect males form getting cancer of the prostate. Researchers from the United States gathered 190 men who have undergone prostate biopsy. Researchers found out that men who were keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, wrote, “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.” Having recently had the honor of serving as a Guest Faculty member at NYU Urology’s course on advanced prostate imaging and focal ablation, I’ll paraphrase his words: The only thing that will redeem the world of keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD “Big boys don’t cry.” How many of us, as young boys, got that message one way or another? Perhaps the world is changing and we no longer expect our sons to “tough it out” when they get scrapes and bruises, or a favorite toy break. But common sense tells us that keep reading
Prostate cancer may only occur when a man reaches the later stages of his life, but it is always best to know if the risk is high as early as possible! Studies show that about 80 percent of 80-year old men get prostate cancer cells and about one in 36 will die of the cancer. keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD One of the problems with the conventional 12-core TRUS biopsy (transrectal guided ultrasound) has to do with the array of needle placement. It tends to miss cancers in two instances: a) cancers located in the anterior (front) zone of the prostate are easily missed, and b) tumors that have developed in keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD In 1826, a Frenchman named Anthelme Brillat-Savarin published a text on gout from which we derive the quote, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” A century later, a 1923 newspaper advertisement for beef preceded the same sentiment with a word of caution: “Ninety percent keep reading
Your risk of getting prostate cancer will not reduce if you don’t do anything about it. Sure, there are certain treatments that you can give a try, but as they say, “prevention is always better than cure”. Keep your prostate healthy by including the right foods in your daily diet. Tomatoes do the trick Tomatoes keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD Prostate cancer patients seeking an alternative to surgery or radiation are attracted to treatments that are minimally invasive (less pain, rapid recovery), repeatable if necessary, and able to be done focally (fewer side effects). Of course, not everyone will qualify for a focal treatment, but patients who require a whole-gland treatment keep reading
Compared to the conventional biopsies done on prostate cancer patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) paired with prostate biopsy has enhanced cancer yield up to three times. This is a procedure available at our prostate cancer detection and treatment center, giving patients access to a powerful and precise method of detecting prostate cancer. Researchers have discovered keep reading
By: Dan Sperling, MD This year’s annual meeting of the American Urological Association (Orlando, FL) brought numerous papers and presentations on multiparametric MRI (3T mpMRI) of the prostate. I interpret this to mean that the value of radiologic imaging for the detection, diagnosis and guided treatment of prostate cancer has gained considerable—perhaps even definitive—recognition by keep reading
