40% of Men Who Test Negative for Prostate Cancer May Have It
Forty percent of men with prostate cancer may be unaware that they have it, according to research conducted by the Prostate Cancer Foundation in Chicago. The study found that the standard office biopsy procedure is often inadequate for proper detection of the disease. ( Read more about 40% of Men Who Test Negative for Prostate Cancer May Have It)

Expert Commentary: Dr. Tauseef Ahmed, M.D., April 30, 2009
I think a better term for the therapies recently reported in Cancer Research would be targeted small molecules. Nanoparticles are formulations of various chemotherapeutic drugs that improve the delivery of chemotherapy. The most commonly used nanoparticle medication is nanoparticle bound paclitaxel, sold as Abraxane. This allows this particular chemotherapy to be dissolved in water. This could not be achieved without having tiny particles attached to the molecule. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Dr. Tauseef Ahmed, M.D., April 30, 2009)

Prostate Tests Found to Overdiagnose Cancer
Up to 42 percent of prostate cancers detected by a common blood test might never otherwise have come to light in a man’s lifetime, according to a recent study. And this overdiagnosis of the condition has led to countless unnecessary biopsies, surgeries and radiation treatments, not to mention all of the needless anxiety and stress involved.
The study “reinforces the message that we are overdiagnosing prostate cancer,” said the American Cancer Society’s Len Lichtenfeld, who was not part of the recent investigation. ( Read more about Prostate Tests Found to Overdiagnose Cancer)

What is the Polypill?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

JAMA - Men's Health Briefing
An estimated 10 million men 40 years or older have symptoms consistent with overactive bladder. Now, new research shows a combination of two medicines which work differently works better than using only one medication. The researchers compared using detrol la—which works on the bladder and flomax—which works on the prostate-- either alone or in combination in men with overactive bladder and a benign enlarged prostate and who complained of having to go to the bathroom a lot. Dr. Steven Kaplan, the study author at Weill Cornell Medical College, says, “The particular symptoms that we actually are concerned about is getting up at night to urinate, going frequently to the bathroom. This is actually the largest study ever done in men who have both a bladder problem and a prostate problem and we found that by treating both we have enhanced the quality of life in men with urinating symptoms.” ( Read more about JAMA - Men's Health Briefing)

Prostate Cancer and Osteoporosis
Two new studies highlight the risk men with prostate cancer face concerning osteoporosis risk. Both show that hormone treatment for cancer can up the chances of developing the bone brittling disease. One study in Wednesday's New England Journal of Medicine confirms that hormonal therapy for prostate cancer increases the risk of fracture. The other, in Friday's issue of cancer, shows that the problem of osteoporosis is often overlooked as a risk for men with prostate cancer and being treated with hormones.
