- Prostate cancer can be detected on breath Israeli researchers have demonstrated that a simple nanosensor array can detect the presence of prostate cancer on patients’ breath and could lead to an inexpensive, non-invasive, and easily portable tool for screening.

- Prostate cancer death related to BCR, but rare outcome US research shows that biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after treatment is associated with prostate cancer mortality, although only a minority of elderly men with recurrence will die from the disease.

- Post-prostatectomy pelvic floor training improves continence recovery Research shows that early postoperative pelvic floor muscle training speeds up the recovery of urinary incontinence in the 12 months after radical prostatectomy.

- Surgeon skill predicts PSMs at prostatectomy, influencing likelihood of recurrence The risk for a positive surgical margin at radical prostatectomy is significantly influenced by surgeon volume, report researchers who found lower rates among high- versus low-volume surgeons.

- CDC reporting tool reveals acceptable prostatectomy complication rates The overall complication rate following open radical retropubic prostatectomy is acceptable, German researchers have found using the Clavein-Dindo classification.

- Men opt-out of prostate cancer screening for practical reasons The reasons men do not attend prostate cancer screening are mostly practical, and include forgetting their invitation, and having already had previous prostate-specific antigen testing, show Finnish study results.

- Four-kallikrein PSA panel predicts likelihood of prostate cancer after negative biopsy Research results suggest that adding a panel of four kallikrein markers to a prostate cancer prediction model could greatly reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies undertaken in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels after a previously negative biopsy.

- Careful patient selection improves prostate salvage brachytherapy outcomes Salvage brachytherapy for failed initial prostate radiation is most beneficial in terms of oncologic and quality-of-life outcomes in patients with low pre-salvage prostate-specific antigen levels, and no previous pelvic lymph node dissection, say researchers.

- Five new susceptibility loci identified for prostate cancer in Japanese population Genome-wide association studies involving Japanese participants have revealed five new prostate cancer susceptibility loci, highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of disease susceptibility among different populations, say the researchers.

- Asthma and asthma medications linked to prostate cancer risk Australian study findings show that men with a history of asthma, and those who have used asthma medications, particularly systemic glucocorticoids, are at increased risk for developing prostate cancer.
