A worldwide study involving more than 80 countries found a significant link between oral contraceptive use and increased prostate cancer cases and deaths. The reason, supported by several studies, suggests that estrogen exposure increases the risk of prostate cancer and, more specifically, that the high concentration of estrogen in birth control pills is released in urine and ends up contaminating the local water supply. The transmission of estrogen through the water supply is believed to have a link to increased rates of prostate cancer in men. Continue Reading

Testicular cancer, which affects mainly younger men, is relatively rare. This form of cancer is the most easily treated of all tumors in the genitourinary system. Just a few decades ago, more than 90 percent of patients with certain types of testicular cancer did not survive five years. Today a majority of cases are curable. Continue Reading

Based on my more than 35 years of experience in urologic oncology, and having treated more than 10,000 men with prostate cancer, I recommend that if you are a male between 40 and 70 years old, you should get an annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood screening test and a digital rectal exam (DRE).

As mentioned in my last post “Controversy Over a PSA Blood Test” a virtual firestorm has erupted with the publication of the US Preventive Services Task Force draft recommendation that healthy men should no longer receive a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test to screen for prostate cancer because “the test does not save lives overall and often leads to more tests and treatments that needlessly cause pain, impotence, and incontinence,” according to a recent NY Times article.

Controversy over a Key Prostate Cancer Screening Blood Test (PSA): The Real Story

Earlier this month, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommended that healthy men should no longer receive a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test to screen for prostate cancer as part of routine cancer screening. This has created an uproar in both the urologic community and the medical community at large. It is a decision made by a panel that does not include a urologist or an oncologist. Continue Reading
