The use of aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is significantly associated with lower PSA levels, especially among men with prostate cancer, say researchers at Vanderbilt University.

A vaccine designed to protect women and girls from cervical cancer caused by a wart virus may protect men, too, maker Merck and Co reported on Thursday
Antidepressant treatment may reduce male fertility

Treatment with paroxetine (Paxil), which belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressant drugs, increases DNA fragmentation in sperm, according to research presented today at the sixty-fourth annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in San Francisco.
Although the study did not directly evaluate male fertility, the fivefold increase in the number of men who developed abnormal sperm DNA while being treated with paroxetine is "troubling" and "suggests an adverse effect on fertility," co-investigator Dr
Statins Lower Blood Marker for Prostate Cancer

THURSDAY, Oct. 30 (HealthDay News) -- A new study shows that men who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins have lower blood levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a biomarker for prostate cancer risk.
That drop in PSA levels doesn't necessarily mean the drugs protect against disease, however, researchers say.
But it's possible that statins may offer some protection against the disease, said Dr. Robert Hamilton, one author of the report in the Oct. 28 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute
HPV infection rates similar in men and women

Although men are at high risk of acquiring human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, most last no more than a year, about the same time this sexually transmitted disease persists in women, researchers report in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Study Shows Weak Circumcision/HIV Benefit for Gay/Bisexual Men

Although circumcision has been shown to reduce rates of HIV transmission among heterosexual couples, circumcision offers little HIV protection to gay/bisexual men -- overall. But it might cut HIV risk in predominantly insertive partners.
Hormones not for all prostate cancer patients

A new study raises additional questions about the benefits of drugs given to more than half of prostate cancer patients.
Hormone therapy, which blocks the production of the testosterone that feeds prostate tumors, is a mainstay of treatment for men with advanced disease. Studies show it also improves survival in patients with aggressive tumors that are still limited to the prostate.
Pain relievers may complicate prostate screening

Taking a popular class of pain relievers that includes aspirin and ibuprofen lowers the levels of a protein in a man's blood that doctors use to screen for prostate cancer, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
Prostate cancer risk increased in obese men who use statin drugs

Use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, especially long-term use, appears to raise the risk of prostate cancer among obese men, according to findings of a new study.
"Given the epidemic of obesity in the U.S. and the frequent use of statins, the positive association we observed raises substantial concern as to the safety of these widely prescribed agents," Dr. Janet L. Stanford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and colleagues wrote in the American Journal of Epidemiology
Regrets After Prostate Surgery

One in five men who undergoes prostate surgery to treat cancer later regrets the decision, a new study shows. Surprisingly, regret is highest among men who opt for robotic prostatectomy, a minimally invasive surgery that is growing in popularity as a treatment.
The research, published in the medical journal European Urology, is the latest to suggest that technological advances in prostate surgery haven’t necessarily translated to better results for the men on which it is performed
Virus helps show how cancer spreads

Scientists have used a common cold virus to "light up" prostate cancer tumors in different parts of the body. A University of California team has found that, when infected by a certain virus, mouse prostate cancer cells become remarkably easy to spot on scanners.
The research team says that the technique requires further development, but if these results extrapolate to humans, it could be a huge boon to cancer research, particularly in cases in which metastasis is suspected.
Can you turn teeth into sperm?

COULD sacrificing a tooth enable some infertile men to father children? That's the goal of researchers in Brazil, who suggest that stem cells from human teeth can be coaxed into becoming sperm by being injected into the testes of mice.
Irina Kerkis of the Butantan Institute in São Paulo and her colleagues injected stem cells from the dental pulp of human teeth into the testes of live mice. The cells seemed to migrate to the tubules where sperm usually mature and differentiate into cells resembling human sperm
UCLA researchers locate and image prostate cancer as it spreads to lymph nodes

Using an engineered common cold virus, UCLA researchers delivered a genetic payload to prostate cancer cells that allowed them, using Positron Emission Tomography (PET), to locate the diseased cells as they spread to the lymph nodes, the first place prostate cancer goes before invading other organs.
The tiny cancer metastases in the pelvic lymph nodes are very difficult to find using conventional imaging tools such as CT scanning
Erections: Use 'Em or Lose 'Em--------Frequent Sex Protects Against Erectile Dysfunction

July 3, 2008 — Men who don't use their erections lose them, Finnish researchers find.
Aging men who have sex at least once a week have only half the risk of developing erectile dysfunction as do men who have sex less often.
But once-a-weekers shouldn't gloat. More sex means even less ED risk. Men who have sex at least three times a week are only one-fourth as likely to get erectile dysfunction as are men who have less-than-weekly sex

This large, prospective, observational study showed that Finnish smokers who consumed eight or more cups of coffee per day had a 23% lowered risk for cerebral infarction, whereas those who drank two or more cups of black tea daily had a 21% lowered risk for this type of stroke vs those who drank little or none of these beverages. The associations were independent of risk factors such as a history of coronary heart disease.
Their report is published in the June 2008 issue of Stroke
