Curcumin, found in turmeric, is drawing scientific attention for its effects on prostate cancer, including inhibiting cancer cell growth. Despite promising lab results, making curcumin safe and effective for humans remains a challenge due to poor bioavailability. keep reading

Researchers are questioning if PSMA-PET scans, usually reserved for advanced prostate cancer, might offer added value when used alongside mpMRI earlier in diagnosis. Studies suggest a combined approach could improve detection, but questions remain about cost, accuracy, and future role. keep reading

What happens when prostate cancer questions collide with AI chatbots, social media, and the limits of technology? While online tools can supply fast answers, they can’t replicate the nuanced understanding between patient and physician. New research suggests online information should supplement, not replace, medical expertise. keep reading

Recent studies reveal the digital rectal exam may not improve early prostate cancer detection compared to PSA testing. As experts question its usefulness, advanced tools like multiparametric MRI are shaping modern screening guidelines. keep reading

Could a troubled heart and sluggish metabolism set the stage for more aggressive prostate cancer? Mounting studies reveal that cardiometabolic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension may actually fuel high-risk prostate cancer, but prevention and control are within reach for many men. keep reading

New research asks if healthy lifestyle choices—like diet, supplements, and exercise—can slow the growth of low-risk prostate cancer during active surveillance. While results remain inconclusive, promising signs exist, and minimally invasive focal therapy is emerging as an alternative option. keep reading

Multiparametric MRI uses advanced imaging sequences to identify suspicious prostate tissue, clarify abnormal PSA results, and help avoid unnecessary biopsies. This noninvasive approach is changing the standard for early and accurate prostate cancer diagnosis. keep reading

Focal therapy methods for prostate cancer, such as Focal Laser Ablation and TULSA, show promise in preserving sexual function while maintaining cancer control. New research highlights a better balance between treatment effectiveness and quality of life for men facing low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. keep reading

Not all cancer-fighting tools come in a prescription bottle. Recent findings reveal that regular exercise can suppress tumor activity, ease cancer-related anxiety, and tip treatment outcomes in men’s favor—even before prostate cancer treatment starts. Could lacing up your sneakers have a surprising impact on prostate cancer’s course? keep reading

Focal therapy matches radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer control while offering fewer side effects and preserving treatment choices if cancer returns. Evidence supports its effectiveness for men with localized disease. keep reading
