There’s some bright hope on the horizon for men with metastatic prostate cancer: it’s PSMA-targeting therapy. This is different from PSMA-targeted imaging, which shows where small bits of prostate cancer are hiding in the body. But it uses the very same building blocks. Think of molecular LEGOS: Instead of attaching the tracer molecule that can “see” […]

Who’s a survivor? You are, if you are trying to get your life back after a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Survivor. What does that word bring to mind? (Besides, of course, the name of the rock band whose song, “Eye of the Tiger,” went double-platinum in 1982 and was the theme of “Rocky […]

Just hear me out here. Look: I get it. I come from a high-risk prostate cancer family, with five beloved men, including my husband, my dad, his dad, his grandfather, and my grandfather affected so far. So you know I am not ever going to downplay the risk. But enough! Let’s stop being afraid of […]

Imagine looking at a very young Ian McKellen, the knighted British actor, and thinking, “Half a century from now, if they ever film the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he could be the best Gandalf ever!” That kind of vision is rare – but scientist Neil Bander, M.D., has it.
