Scientists are homing in on the genes for prostate cancer after carrying out the biggest study yet to identify the inherited causes of the disease.

NEW YORK  - Doctors generally do not take  measures to prevent or treat osteoporosis, the loss of bone  mass, in men with prostate cancer being treated with hormone  therapy, even when other risk factors are present, according to  new research.

PHILADELPHIA - The polyphenols present in green tea help prevent the spread of prostate cancer by targeting molecular pathways that shut down the proliferation and spread of tumor cells, as well as inhibiting the growth of tumor nurturing blood vessels

ATLANTA - Oct. 4, 2004 â-en with prostate cancer might survive longer by regularly taking aspirin, a new study suggests. While there have been other studies showing regular use of aspirin or other non

NEW YORK  - In a study of prostate cancer patients living in California, most Asian men with the disease survived longer than their white counterparts. The exception was men from South Asia; their survival was worse than that of white men.

Scientists have found a new way to identify a particularly deadly form of prostate cancer in a breakthrough that could save tens of thousands of men from undergoing unnecessary surgery each year.

NEW YORK  - A mix of dietary supplements  including antioxidants and plant-based estrogens may slow the  rise of a biomarker for prostate cancer progression in some  men, preliminary research suggests.

NEW YORK  - New research suggests that two months of "androgen deprivation" therapy, which reduces levels of the androgen, a male hormone, can help slow the growth of locally advanced prostate cancer when given before and during radiotherapy. Plus, the short course of androgen deprivation therapy does not increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, which had been a concern.

TUESDAY, Nov. 16 (HealthDayNews) -- New information about the activity of a hormone-sensitive cell receptor could improve the treatment of prostate cancer, according to a study in the November issue of Cancer Cell.

Drinking does not appear to be  associated with the overall incidence of prostate cancer,  according to findings published in the International Journal of  Cancer. However, men who drink alcohol may have a lower risk of  having an aggressive prostate cancer and dying from this  cancer.

Obese men who undergo surgery for prostate cancer are more likely than their non-obese peers to experience a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a sign that their disease is returning, new research suggests. Moreover, this seems to be true even in cases in which all of the cancer was apparently removed at surgery.

Loss of a tumor suppresser gene called Rb may be the first step in the development of prostate cancer, according to findings from experiments in mice.

British scientists have discovered a new  way to improve the effectiveness of drugs used to treat  prostate cancer.

Sept. 27, 2004 -- Black men are twice as likely as whites to die from prostate cancer, but according to a new study, they are only half as likely to be screened for it.

Men with prostate cancer that does not appear to have spread have better survival chances when they get short-term hormone treatment along with standard radiation.

Men may be able to halve their  risk of aggressive prostate cancer by adding large amounts of  broccoli and cauliflower to their menu. However, the overall  risk of prostate cancer was not changed.

NEW YORK  - Despite widespread interest in selenium for warding off prostate cancer, a new study shows that a high blood level of selenium is not in itself generally associated with reduced prostate cancer risk.
