Education, income and risk of cancer: results from a Norwegian registry-based study.
CONCLUSION: Our findings were consistent with findings from other studies showing that the incidence rate of cancer differs across levels of socioeconomic status. We may need behavioral change campaigns focused on lifestyle changes that lower the risk of cancer and target perhaps to those with lower socioeconomic status.

Pairing physician education with patient activation to improve shared decisions in prostate cancer screening: a cluster randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS Although activating physicians and patients did not lead to significant changes in all aspects of physician attitudes and behaviors that we studied, interventions that involved physicians did have a large effect on their attitudes toward screening and in the discussions they had with patients, including their being more likely than control physicians to engage in prostate cancer screening discussions and more likely to be neutral in their final recommendations.

Could the 'triple whammy' technique that beat HIV/Aids win battle against cancer?
New gene treatments that attack tumours on multiple fronts can prolong life – but also show cancer cells are more complex than scientists had thoughtWing commander Brian Liversidge was 60 when he was diagnosed, in 2004, as having aggressive prostate cancer. The CEO of a Cumbria educational trust was given 18 months to live.Liversidge – who is married with two sons and three grandsons – has since confounded that grim prediction thanks to a sequence of remarkable medical developments that have kept him alive and which raise hopes it may soon become possible to treat many cancers as manageable chronic conditions.However...

Prostate cell lines as models for biomarker discovery: Performance of current markers and the search for new biomarkers
CONCLUSIONSWhile the existing prostate cancer biomarkers and lysosomal proteins investigated here were not able to specifically differentiate between a panel of nonmalignant and prostate cancer cell lines, endosomal proteins showed some discriminatory capacity. LIMP‐2 is a critical regulator of endosome biogenesis and the increased expression observed in prostate cancer cells indicated that other endosome related proteins may also be upregulated and could be investigated as novel biomarkers.

National survey addressing the information needs of primary care physicians: Side effect management of patients on androgen deprivation therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: PCPs play an important role in managing ADT side effects. There is poor awareness of the prevalence of ADT side effects, and many are uncomfortable in managing these side effects. These areas may be addressed through CME programs and educational pamphlets. PMID: 24839488 [PubMed]

Radical prostatectomy in a certified prostate cancer center : Medical treatment and outcome.
This study is the first German report demonstrating an improvement of treatment results in a certified prostate cancer center. The rate of complications, reintervention, transfusions, and R1 status were significantly lower than in the precenter era. The evaluation of potency is sobering compared to current published literature, whereas satisfactory results were obtained for continency. DISCUSSION: Evaluation of the data contributes to the quality of treatment and outcome of certified prostate cancer centers and allows reliable decision-making and honest patient education in the future.

Adult children's socioeconomic positions and their parents' mortality: A comparison of education, occupational class, and income
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Social Science & Medicine, Volume 122 Author(s): Jenny Torssander Recent research has shown that the parents of well-educated children live longer than do other parents and that this association is only partly confounded by the parent's own socioeconomic position. However, the relationships between other aspects of children's socioeconomic position (e.g., occupational class and economic resources) and parental mortality have not been examined. Using the Swedish Multi-generation Register that connects parents to their children, this paper studies the associations of children'...

Commentary on: "Satisfaction with information used to choose prostate cancer treatment."

Epub 2013 Dec 12.
CONCLUSIONS: Various information sources were used and endorsed as helpful by subjects, although results for physician patients was the only source independently associated with satisfaction with information. Providing patients with information about possible or expected courses of care and outcomes may improve satisfaction. PMID: 25990613 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does larger tumor volume explain the higher prostate specific antigen levels in black men with prostate cancer—Results from the SEARCH database
Conclusions In this study of men undergoing radical prostatectomy at multiple equal access medical centers, racial differences in tumor volume did not explain higher presurgical PSA levels in black versus white men. The exact reason for higher PSA values in black men remains unclear.

Predictive value of the official cancer alarm symptoms in general practice--a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: A few of the alarm symptoms show a high PPV, whereas the PPV for some symptoms currently remains unknown. To improve the GPs' diagnostic judgment, a new algorithm for calculating the PPV for combinations of symptoms and risk factors seems promising. PMID: 26050833 [PubMed - in process]

Detection of blaSPM-1, blaKPC, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes in isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp. and Klebsiella spp. from cancer patients with healthcare associated infections.
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp. and Klebsiella spp. are three of the pathogens most frequently involved in cancer patients infections, and the production of β-lactamases is a major mechanism of resistance due to its wide diversity of existing enzymes. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the microbiological profile and data related to patients and infections, and search for the some β-lactamases genes in bacterial isolates from hospitalized cancer patients in a hospital in Recife, in Pernambuco/Brazil. A total of 169 isolates were recovered between 2012 and 2014, of whic...

Glycoprotein asporin as a novel player in tumour microenvironment and cancer progression.
CONCLUSION: The apparent contradicting tumour promoting and suppressive effects of asporin require further investigation. Deciphering the role of asporin and other SLRPs in tumour-stroma interactions is needed for a better understanding of cancer progression and potentially also for novel tumour microenvironment based therapies.

Level of education and mortality after radical prostatectomy.
In conclusion, the level of education might serve as an independent prognostic parameter supplementary to age, comorbidity, and smoking status to estimate the risk of competing mortality and to choose optimal treatment for men with early prostate cancer who are candidates for radical prostatectomy.

Adverse Health Outcomes Associated with Postdiagnosis Smoking in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Literature Review
This literature review presents what is currently known about the association  between postdiagnosis smoking and adverse health outcomes in prostate cancer. A literature search was conducted using Ovid Embase and Ovid MEDLINE. Information from 36 studies was summarized. There is strong evidence across the included studies of higher overall mortality and biochemical recurren ce in current smokers diagnosed with prostate cancer. In addition, enhanced adverse effects following surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy have also been identified in current smokers of this population.
