That is the conclusion of a new study published in the July 1, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The paradoxical findings indicate that there may be biological differences between prostate cancers that develop in younger men and those that develop in older men, and that uncovering these differences may help tailor screening and treatment strategies for patients based on age. http://www.physorg.com/news162183584.html Medicine & Health Fri, 22 May 2009 04:00:20 EST news162183584 Older men whose melanoma is detected by a physician are more likely to have thinner and therefore more treatable tumors at diagnosis, according to results of a survey published in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
