SUMMARY: Prostate cancer develops when DNA damage causes prostate cells to grow abnormally, and oxidative stress from free radicals is a factor that contributes to these changes. Research has not shown that antioxidant supplements prevent prostate cancer, but diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and other antioxidant-containing foods may help support the body’s natural protective mechanisms. keep reading

By age 50, BPH is the most common prostate problem men face. The prostate enlarges, squeezes the urethra, and suddenly urination becomes a daily struggle. Medication helps in mild cases, but when symptoms get worse, minimally invasive procedures can restore normal flow — no major surgery required. Here’s what those options look like. keep reading

One in three men on Active Surveillance eventually stops, not because their cancer worsened, but because of fear. A new study suggests better imaging could change that. Researchers found that combining mpMRI with PSMA-PET nearly doubled detection rates for clinically significant prostate cancer, and helped 18% of patients avoid an unnecessary biopsy. keep reading

NAD+ precursor supplements promise anti-aging benefits, yet their effects on prostate cancer may be more complex than expected. While boosting NAD+ can support cellular wellness, research suggests it might also help cancer cells thrive. Get balanced insights from recent studies. keep reading

A recent trial comparing MRI-guided biopsy to MRI plus PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer found no significant difference in detecting clinically significant cancers. While combining imaging may reveal slightly more lesions, the benefit appears minimal and doesn’t outweigh added costs or complexity. keep reading

What if treating prostate cancer didn’t have to mean sacrificing the whole gland? Thanks to advances in multiparametric MRI and MRI-targeted biopsy, focal therapy can pinpoint and erase tumors with a margin of safety while sparing healthy tissue. Lower side effect rates and preserved function set this approach apart. keep reading

The word malignant comes from malignare, a Latin verb that means to intend to do evil. The ultimate evil is death. A cancerous tumor is called a malignancy because it causes death. As kids, cartoons and comic books show that evil villains are out to destroy the good guys, but there are either a) clever keep reading

The search for a prostate cancer (PCa) cure involves general practitioners, internal medicine doctors, surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, and biologists—to name just a few. It may surprise you to learn that your personal trainer or coach may also have something to offer in terms of defeating PCa and other tumor cancers: exercise! As surprising as it keep reading

History is littered with poor judgments, often on the part of a very small handful of people—or even a single individual. If you’re a trivia buff, you’d recognize the name of J. Bruce Ismay, owner of the Titanic, who determined a mere 20 lifeboats would be enough for an unsinkable ship. Or how about Willem keep reading

These days, Active Surveillance (AS) seems to be the new best friend for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Over 40% of newly diagnosed, low-to-favorable intermediate risk patients now begin PCa management on AS. This method defers treatment, but there’s a catch. Patients must be responsible to: Obtain the most thorough portrait of your PCa (multiparametric MRI, keep reading
