  • PSA Levels Alone May Not Reflect Prostate Cancer Growth
    July 1, 2026

    Patients with advanced prostate cancer may need periodic imaging scans to catch tumor growth even with stable levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein in the blood that doctors routinely monitor for cancer progression, according to an analysis led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University.

  • Enzalutamide Prolongs Lives of Patients with Nonmetastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
    May 29, 2020

    A drug that blocks a male hormone receptor prolonged life by nearly a year compared with the placebo in men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to the final analysis of the results of an international, multi-center Phase 3 clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.
