Smoking Raises Prostate Cancer Death Risk

Smoking tobacco modestly increases the risk of dying from prostate cancer (PCa), according to a new meta-analysis published online ahead of print in European Urology. A team led by Farhad Islami, MD, of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, and Stephen J. Freedland, MD, of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., analyzed 51 studies involving a total of 50,349 PCa cases, 11,823 PCa deaths, and 4.0 million cohort participants. Current cigarette smoking was associated with a significant 24% increased risk of PCa death, Dr. “Even if the association between smoking and PCa death is established as causal, the magnitude of association is smaller versus those reported for other smoking-related cancers including cancers of the lung and upper aerodigestive tract,” the authors wrote.

7-T MRIs in the diagnosis and work-up of localized prostate cancer. References to 1.5-T, 3-T, and 7-T MRI machines are based on the size and power of the magnets used in the creation of MRI images by the machines.

7-T MRIs in the diagnosis and work-up of localized prostate cancer

The T stands for “tesla”. It is a measure of magnetic flux density, and one tesla (1 T) is equal to one weber per square metre (1 Wb/m2). Most MRI machines used today operate using 1.5-T magnets; more recently, 3-T magnets have become more common; and it appears that some researchers have started to play with MRI equipment with 7-T magnets to image the prostates of very small numbers of prostate cancer patients. We should be clear that (as yet) there is no absolute proof that 3-T MRI equipment is actually significantly better than 1.5-T MRI equipment in providing appropriate images of prostates as a means to help to determine whether treatment is necessary and in whom.

Role of Focal Therapy in Localized Prostate Cancer

With follow-up ranging from 0 to 11 years, the authors found that, in treatment-naïve prostates, pad-free continence ranged from 95% to 100%, erectile function ranged from 54% to 100%, and absence of clinically significant cancer ranged from 83% to 100%.The authors conclude that the functional and oncologic data are encouraging in short- to medium-term follow-up. However, there are no good long-term data or comparative studies to validate the use of focal therapy for prostate cancer. – Gautam Jayram, MD This abstract is available on the publisher's site.

Related - Approval of enzalutamide pre-chemo a ‘game changer’ In the first ASTRO study, Daniel Trifiletti, MD, of University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, and co-authors evaluated in a decision modeling study the comparative effectiveness of adjuvant versus salvage RT when Decipher as an individualized estimate of disease aggressiveness was implemented into clinical patient care. The results showed that treatment decisions involving the Decipher test led to an increase in adjuvant RT utilization, and, overall, resulted in an increase in life years and quality-adjusted life years for those patients.

Approval of enzalutamide pre-chemo a ‘game changer’ The FDA’s approval of enzalutamide (XTANDI) to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in the pre-chemotherapy setting is a potential game changer for both patients and treating physicians, especially urologists, according to one leader in the prostate cancer field.

The therapeutic options for this patient population will likely extend beyond enzalutamide, another pointed out. Related - Tomato-rich diet may lower prostate cancer risk Enzalutamide, an oral, once-daily androgen receptor inhibitor, was originally approved in 2012 for use in patients with metastatic CRPC who previously received docetaxel (Taxotere). The new indication approves enzalutamide for use in men with metastatic CRPC who have not received chemotherapy. The most recent approval follows a priority review of the supplemental new drug application that was based on results of the phase III PREVAIL trial.

What’s new in prostate cancer research and treatment?

Genetics New research on genes linked to prostate cancer is helping scientists better understand how prostate cancer develops. This research will help provide answers about the genetic changes that lead to prostate cancer. This could make it possible to design medicines to target those changes. Tests to find abnormal prostate cancer genes could also help identify men at high risk who would benefit from more intensive screening or from chemoprevention trials, which use drugs to try to keep them from getting cancer. Recently, a mutation in a gene called HOXB13 has been linked to early onset prostate cancer that runs in families. The HOXB13 gene and most of the genes that have been studied so far are from chromosomes that are inherited from both parents. Prevention Another vitamin that may be important is vitamin D.

Of risk and reality — the role of prostate cancer testing in young, high-risk patients. None of the trials conducted to date have provided sound information as to the risk and benefits associated with PSA testing among younger men (aged, say, between 35 and 50 years of age) who have well-known risk factors for prostate cancer.

Such risk factors, of course, include: A meaningful family history of prostate cancerAfrican American race, or other forms of Black African ethnicity (e.g., Afro-Caribbean and, potentially, Afro-European)A history of exposure to certain types of environmental risk (e.g., Agent Orange) In a new paper in the Journal of Urology, Vertosick et al. set out to see if they could offer insight into two questions: “Do race and family history increase risk sufficiently to justify differential screening?”

“Might there be other risk factors that lead to superior risk stratification?” We should be clear that this is a complex paper involving a significant number of estimates and assumptions.

Toronto, ON – Aug 14, 2014 – As part of our ongoing strategic commitment to prostate cancer research, Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) is proud to announce the recipients of the 2014 Movember Discovery Grants, awarded by PCC, funded by Movember.

This program allows both junior investigators at the start of their research careers and more established investigators to pursue important new directions in prostate cancer research. Each recipient of the Movember Discovery Grant will receive up to $200,000 in funding over a two-year term. This year 26 grant recipients have been funded, encompassing a varying range of projects that deal with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of prostate cancer. Projects funded explore a number of topics, including improving the quality of surgery, new methods for administering chemotherapy, and suppressing the spread of the disease.

Recommendations for prostate cancer active surveillance. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. Active surveillance offers low-risk prostate cancer patients a means to avoid the potentially harmful side effects from treatment. Pathologists help determine patient eligibility for active surveillance and today a multi-specialty team published their recommendations for making such determinations in a special on-line posting from the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. With active surveillance, patients undergo regular visits with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests and repeated prostate biopsies rather than aggressive treatment. It is distinguished from watchful waiting, in which treatment for localized disease is withheld and palliative treatment for systemic disease is initiated.

Prostate cancer drug ruling a 'fiasco', says charity. 15 August 2014Last updated at 03:10 ET By Nick Triggle Health correspondent, BBC News A charity says a decision by the NHS in England to reject a drug for men with prostate cancer is a "fiasco". Abiraterone is already given to patients at the end-of-life after chemotherapy as it gives patients an extra few months. But the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence said it was not cost-effective to offer it earlier. It said while the drug improved quality of life, it was unclear whether it had the same impact on life expectancy. This was due to problems with the research data, NICE said, claiming the trial was finished early - something disputed by the drug's makers Janssen.

Prostate cancer diagnosis improves with MRI technology. Oncologists at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center are the first in San Diego to meld magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology with a traditional ultrasound prostate exam to create a three-dimensional map of the prostate that allows physicians to view growths that were previously undetectable. An ultrasound machine provides an imperfect view of the prostate, resulting in an under-diagnosis of cancer, said J.

Quality of life after standard therapies for localized prostate cancer. Assessment of patient quality of life (QoL) after standard forms of treatment for localized prostate cancer is difficult for many reasons — not least because there is no real agreement among members of the research community about the best ways to measure QoL or patient satisfaction after treatment.

What is very clear, however, is that relatively few patients are “satisfied” with their erectile/sexual function after standard forms of treatment — and this is a key driver behind the development of newer forms of treatment (such a the various forms of high-intensity focused ultrasound [HIFU] and focal forms of therapy). A recent paper by Nicholaisen et al. (in the Journal of Clinical Nursing) looked, in considerable detail, at patient quality of life and satisfaction with information provided to a cohort of Norwegian patients at 3 to 4 years after three types of standard treatment: radical prostatectomy, radical external beam radiotherapy, and post-surgical radiotherapy.
