Uppsala scientists behind acclaimed health site
The health site PQL, which has been tested by Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, among others, has been shown to have a clear effect on health. For instance, treatment via the Internet counteracted stress-related reduction of DHEA, an "anti-aging" hormone. PQL is the result of several years of research at Uppsala University, and recently, in stiff European competition, won honorary mention in th...Study finds diet did not affect PSA levels
A new study conducted by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the National Cancer Institute, and other centers found that over a four-year period, a low-fat, high-fiber diet had no impact on PSA levels in men without prostate cancer. In addition, the diet did not affect the incidence of prostate cancer in this group of 1,350 men. ... ...According to the study's lead author, Dr....Study of low-fat, high-fiber diet finds no effect on PSA levels in men over a four-year period
A low-fat, high-fiber diet heavy in fruits and vegetables has no impact on PSA levels in men over a four-year period, and does not affect the incidence of prostate cancer, according to a study by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the National Cancer Institute, and seven other centers. The four-year, randomized study examined whether a short-term dietary intervention would im...Columbia study finds differences in PSA, PSA density test measurements for Caucasian, Hispanic men
Doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Columbia Presbyterian campus will report today the results of one of the few studies to look at the performance of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests in the detection of prostate cancer in Hispanics as compared to Caucasians. The study shows when the test is extended to the point of measuring PSA density (PSAD), it is better able to predict whether a...Evidence of PSA screening efficacy lacking
There is no evidence to support speculation that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has contributed to a decline in prostate cancer mortality rates since 1995, a new study has determined. The value of such screening remains controversial. Some American authorities have called for cancer screening in men who ask about the PSA test, while the Canadian Urological Association and most health a...PSA testing alone cannot fully explain drop in deaths from prostate cancer
.The PSA cancer-screening test alone probably cannot explain the recent decline.in deaths from prostate cancer, according to investigators at the Fred.Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the National Cancer Institute.. .In a paper to appear in tomorrow's Journal of the National Cancer Institute,.lead researcher Dr. Ruth Etzioni, a biostatistician at the Hutchinson Center,.concludes that while....ATLANTA -- In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers at the.University of California San Francisco report that an herbal compound.significantly reduced prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, an indicator of.cancer cells, in men with advanced prostate cancer.. .In response to the herbal compound, seventy-five percent of the men in the UCSF.study experienced more than a 50 percent dec...
