Your internal clock does more than regulate sleep—it plays a crucial role in prostate health. Research links circadian rhythm disruption to increased prostate cancer risk by affecting immune function and gene regulation. Whether it’s shift work, aging, or lifestyle habits, preserving your natural sleep cycle could be a key step in prevention. keep reading

In the world of prostate cancer (PCa), there is a dangerous cell pattern called cribriform (pronounced crib’ ri-form) or simply Cr. It has a distinctive appearance that looks similar to a sieve or a plate with lots of holes. Cr is associated with aggressive Gleason grade 4 cancer. Also, there is another PCa type called keep reading

New research reveals that liquid biomarkers—measured through simple blood and urine tests—are revolutionizing prostate cancer care. By detecting disease progression early, they help prevent overtreatment and ensure timely, targeted therapies for metastatic cases. Discover how these cutting-edge tests are reshaping prostate cancer care. keep reading

We’ve posted numerous blogs on the contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to various aspects of MRI detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). We’ve reported AI’s ability to predict metastasis, assign Gleason scores and PI-RADS scores, pinpoint tumor margins for focal therapy, rule out need for biopsy, predict PCa metastasis, and more—showing the accuracy and keep reading

There are many areas in life where high scores matter. Team sports rely on points to determine winners. Scores on achievement tests can determine if applicants are accepted into their first choice of college or university. Individual performance scores in Olympic events raise hopes of earning a gold medal. However, there’s a new kid in keep reading

It’s not exactly the ultimate “American Dream” but it’s great news for clarifying a suspicious PSA test result. As we know, the PSA blood test is controversial as a screening tool for prostate cancer (PCa) because an unexpectedly high result can mean any number of things, not just PCa. And yet, on the chance that keep reading

One of the traits of highly successful people is their ability to stay grounded in the present moment yet anticipate the future. Although no one can predict the future with 100% accuracy, knowing the odds are favorable is a definite advantage. For prostate cancer patients, the most common treatment recommendation is radical robotic prostatectomy (RRP). In fact... keep reading

The number of prostate cancer patients who opt for active surveillance (AS) is rising. The most important reason men go on AS is to avoid the risks that accompany whole-gland treatments. In fact, it’s so important to patients that according to a Dutch study, 30% who were not considered candidates for AS chose it anyway against doctor recommendations... keep reading

If you’ve ever been involved in a simulation game, or a simulation training model, you are interacting with something that’s not really there but feels like it is. In fact, during the experience the same neurons in the brain are activated as if the simulation IS the real world. Thus, the brain can be functionally keep reading

A groundbreaking European study highlights the benefits of adding MRI to PSA screening for prostate cancer. By improving detection of significant cancers and reducing unnecessary biopsies, this approach offers a more accurate, cost-effective pathway for diagnosis. Discover how this research is transforming prostate health and diagnosis standards worldwide. keep reading
