A type of cancer that occurs in the prostate gland
Age‑adjusted PSA thresholds and PSA density are tools clinicians use to reduce false positives from benign enlargement or inflammation and to better estimate cancer risk by accounting for prostate siz...
Gleason score and positive surgical margin (PSM) status are both important prognostic signals after radical prostatectomy and they influence the clinical calculus about salvage radiotherapy (SRT): PSM...
A small but growing body of human epidemiology, tissue‑level gene‑expression work, and mechanistic reviews test the "prostate stagnation" idea—that ejaculations might flush xenobiotics or carcinogenic...
PSA doubling time (PSADT) at very low PSA levels is intrinsically noisy: measurement error, biological fluctuation and divergent calculation methods can change estimated PSADT enough to affect clinica...
Omega‑3 supplements are beneficial in specific, clinically guided situations but carry risks for identifiable patient groups: people on anticoagulants or with bleeding disorders, patients at risk for ...
Human research probing two protozoan suspects— and Toxoplasma gondii—in prostate tissue from men with benign prostatic hyperplasia () has produced substantive but uneven results: multiple PCR and anti...
Urologists approach medication-induced penile shortening by first distinguishing mechanism—vascular hypoxia and fibrosis from androgen-deprivation or radiotherapy, neural or anatomic change after pros...
Prostate massage can cause a range of minor to serious complications — from local tearing and hemorrhoid flare to hemorrhage, cellulitis, and systemic infection — so medical attention is warranted for...
