Prostate Cancer Health Center
Understanding Prostate Cancer -- Diagnosis & Treatment
How Do I Know If I Have Prostate Cancer?
Two tests are used to look for prostate cancer: a digital rectal exam and a PSA blood test.
The PSA blood test looks for something called prostate-specific antigen in the blood. Who should have a PSA test and when is controversial:
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend regular PSA tests. The task force say the tests may find cancers that are so slow growing that treatment, which can have serious side effects, would offer no benefit.
- The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends a discussion between the doctor and patient about the pros and cons of PSA tests. Men shouldn't get the test unless their doctor has given them this information, says the ACS. The ACS recommends that the discussion start at age 50 for most men at average risk for prostate cancer, or age 40 to 45 for those at high risk of prostate cancer.
- The American Urologic Association (AUA) also recommends men talk with their doctor about the pros and cons of the PSA test. The AUA says men who want to be tested should start at age 40.
PSA levels in blood are higher if there is prostate cancer, making it a valuable tool in finding early prostate cancer. But PSA levels can also be high from infection or inflammation in the prostate or from an enlarged prostate.
It is important to discuss this test with your doctor before having one. A high PSA level does not mean that you have cancer; a normal PSA level does not mean you don't have cancer.
If PSA levels are high or have gone up since the last PSA test, your doctor will do a biopsy of the prostate gland using a small ultrasound probe inserted in the rectum (transrectal ultrasound). Tissue samples will be tested for cancer.
If cancer is found, the doctor will do abdominal and pelvic X-rays to see if the cancer has spread outside the prostate. A CT scan and a bone scan may also be done.
For men who have high PSA levels but biopsies don't find cancer, there is a urine test known as a PCA-3 that looks for cancer. This test can prevent the need for repeat biopsies in some men.
What Are the Treatments for Prostate Cancer?
Once the decision is made to treat prostate cancer, your doctor will decide the type of treatment. Decisions about how to treat this cancer are complex, and it makes sense for men to seek a second opinion before making a treatment decision. Treatment may include doing nothing, a single therapy, or some combination of radiation, surgery, hormone therapy, and rarely chemotherapy. The choice depends on many things. Prostate cancer that hasn't spread usually can be cured with surgery or radiation.

So . . . can't get enough of those Commonwealth Games over in India, can you? Come on, admit it: you love watching countries compete for medals in sports that are too boring to watch even during the Olympics! But if you had, you might have seen an Australian Greco-Roman wrestler (we think that means they fight in helmets and battle armor like in The 300) not only refuse to shake the hand of his opponent after being disqualified, but also flipping the bird to the judges. That gesture, known as "spat the dummy" down under, not only riled officials, but also cost him a sliver medal. At right, in a hard to see still we took from the video (below) Hassene Fkiri makes his fateful gesture. Cheers to you to, mate!
At almost the same time another Australian competitor, this time in cycling, also "spat the dummy" after being disqualified from a race. Sounds like the Aussies need to calm down a bit and enjoy this sporting event as much as the rest of us.
Here's more on the story from the Australian Broadcasting Company:
A contrite Hassene Fkiri has spoken of his shame after being stripped of a silver medal for making a rude gesture towards wrestling officials. It came as Australian chef de mission Steve Moneghetti was forced to reproach a second Australian competitor – cyclist Shane Perkins – for similar behaviour.
Tunisian-born Fkiri fronted a press conference in Delhi this morning looking a broken man. He was competing against Indian wrestler Anil Kumar in a gold medal match when he was disqualified on Tuesday.
Furious with the decision, and the fact he had blown his chance at winning gold for his adopted country Australia, Fkiri lashed out and showed his middle finger to officials before refusing to shake the hand of his opponent. Australian chef de mission labelled Fkiri's actions as unsportsmanlike, ordered him to make a public apology and banned him from leaving the athletes' village for the rest of the competition.

(Reuters) - The Sacramento Kings cancelled their four-year contract with free agent Chuck Hayes on Monday after he failed a physical.
Kings president Geoff Petrie said the $21.3 million deal had been voided because of medical reasons.
"This morning, in one of the most heartbreaking moments of my professional or personal life, Chuck Hayes was notified that he failed his physical exam with the Sacramento Kings," Petrie said in a statement.
"Subsequent to that, the contract signed on December 9th has been voided. At Chuck's request, we will have no further comment at this time."
The Kings last week revealed that a recent heart exam on Hayes had shown an abnormality but did not provide any more details.
Before becoming a free agent, the 28-year-old had spent the past six seasons playing for the Houston Rockets. Last season, he averaged 7.9 points and 8.1 rebounds a game.

Washington • It's a glass box of constitutional justicein downtown Salt Lake City, and one day it will be named after a prominent Utahn. The question is, who?
Two camps have quietly tussled over the honor even as construction crews continue to work on the new federal courthouse, slated to open in March. On one side is an aggressive litigator hoping to honor a legendary and long-deceased founder of his law firm, and on the other side are friends of Sen. Orrin Hatch. It really isn't a fair fight.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"My sense is that no one wants to get in the way of Senator Hatch if he wants his name on that building," said Andrew Morse, president of Snow, Christensen & Martineau.
Morse has prodded members of Congress and their advisers and sent letters to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but he has struggled to find anyone willing to sponsor a bill to name the structure after George Sutherland, the only Utahn to ever serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hands off • For his part, Hatch calls the maneuvering "embarrassing" and says he doesn't want to be involved in any legislation to name the building.
"I've kind of kept my hands off of it because some have said they want it to be named after me," he told The Salt Lake Tribune recently. "I think it's none of my business."
He said talk of naming the courthouse after him is a "very kind gesture" but not one he has sought.
"I've never asked to have my name on anything. Period."
While some have talked about naming the building after former U.S.Solicitor General Rex E. Lee (the late father of Sen. Mike Lee) or former Sen. Bob Bennett, most people in Utah's political circles assumed the building would eventually be named after Hatch.
At 37 years and counting, he is not only Utah's longest-serving member of Congress, he has also held a seat on the Judiciary Committeelonger than anyone in history. That slot has allowed him to play a key role in naming every sitting judge on Utah's federal District Court. That includes Chief District Judge Ted Stewart, whose brother Chris Stewart is now the congressman who represents the downtown area where the behemoth new building rises.
Rep. Stewart, R-Utah, said he hasn't had lengthy conversations with his brother on the topic but is aware of how the judges view the senator.
"A lot of the federal judges feel like they owe their positions to Orrin Hatch," Chris Stewart said. "He went to bat for those guys."
With this in mind, the new congressman was preparing a bill to name the building after Hatch — then the rules got in the way.
Nameless • Congress forbids naming any federal building after a sitting lawmaker. If the new courthouse is going to be named after Hatch, it will have to wait until he retires, which he plans to do when his term ends in January 2019.
"The reality is there is nothing we can do," said Chris Stewart, who has shelved any plans for legislation about the courthouse.
Morse sees the rules as his opening, giving him time to persuade Congress to look past their colleague and give due consideration to a political legend from the turn of the century.
"You can't let the building go nameless for five years. That's like letting your kid go to first grade before giving him a name," Morse argues before sarcastically suggesting the building should be named "from a list of Utahns who have been on the Supreme Court."
Morse doesn't want people to attribute his aggressive support for Sutherland as a slight of Hatch, whom he calls "a great senator." Rather, his interest stems from research he conducted in 2011 while planning an event honoring his law firm's 125th anniversary. He organized a ceremony, which included Judge Stewart, focused on the firm's most famous alumni.
One of the 'Four Horsemen' • As a young boy, Sutherland emigrated from England to Utah, where he eventually graduated from what was then called Brigham Young Academy in 1881 and moved to Michigan to earn his law degree. He returned to Utah and was elected to the new state Legislature in 1896. He served one term in what was then Utah's only U.S. House seat beginning in 1901, then spent a dozen years in the U.S. Senate.
He left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and became a Presbyterian, a move that played a role in his re-election defeat.
President Warren G. Harding nominated Sutherland to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1922, and the Senate confirmed him unanimously the same day. He was one of the famous "Four Horsemen," conservative justices who clashed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs.Next Page >

Summary: A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." While they speak, audiences can't help but mull the question: What would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about overcoming obstacles, enabling the dreams of others, and seizing every moment. It was about living. Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and created an audio book that will be shared for generations to come.

Greater St. Louis Area Council: Boy Scouts of America
Opening for October 2012 District Meeting
At a recent District meeting puzzle pieces and 'tags' were
distributed to each participant. Each
person was asked to place the 'tag' on the puzzle piece.
These pieces represent the jobs and tasks needed in scouting
to help make a district strong…..things like district operating committees,
activities, leadership positions, paid staffers, volunteers, to name just a
All of these pieces are needed to make the whole
successful. Each person was asked to bring
their puzzle piece to the center of the room and let's build a strong district.
After all the puzzle pieces were connected, it was noted that
not all the pieces were oriented the same way…….not all the pieces were the
same color…..not all the pieces were surrounded by other pieces.
Some pieces form the border….these pieces the help hold us
in and form us………some pieces connect to multiple functions and activities using
their talents in various ways……some are connected to just one or two other
pieces using their specialized talents to make those functions a success.
All the pieces play important roles….no piece is more
important than another…….but all pieces are important to the youth that we
serve and to the programs we produce.
The more pieces we connect to our puzzle the stronger our district

Great DC/Alexandria Location!
We had a family get together for several days over our teenage granddaughters' spring break. The townhouse was accurately described in all details. We found it extremely comfortable for the six of us, with plenty of room to spread out over 3 levels. The beds were all very comfortable. The upscale master bath with steam room was amazing. We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen (lots of extras like spices, coffee, pancake mix and syrup) and also took advantage of some of the nearby restaurants. Getting into Washington, DC was our main goal (museums, etc.) and it was very simple and fast from this location. It is also close to Old Town Alexandria, with shops, history, and arts. The townhome is located in a quiet cul-de-sac but within walking distance of the pathway along the Potomac River -- good for walking or biking. We would highly recommend this townhome for a vacation!

Vocal Communication in Birds
Bird song provides a unique model system for studying the function, evolution, ontogeny, and control of behavior patterns. In trying to understand the biology of bird song, we ask questions at all four levels. In our studies of New World warblers (Parulinae), for example, we hope to understand not only how the birds use two different categories of songs, but also the exact function of the different song forms, when, if, and from whom the birds learn these behaviors, and exactly how the birds know when to use the appropriate behaviors. With the marsh wren, our goal is to understand the neural control and ontogeny of the songs and especially the diversity of behaviors among North American populations; males in eastern and western populations differ dramatically in their singing behaviors, and a special interest is what happens in zones of Great Plains sympatry where these two forms meet. Our third focus is on the differences in song development and neural control between songbirds, to which the wrens and warblers belong, and the suboscines, the sister group of the songbirds in the order Passeriformes. Overall, our goals are, quite simply, to understand, through observations and experiments in both the laboratory and the field, the diversity and evolution of vocal behaviors among birds.

WHISTLER, British Columbia — Three and a half years after hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler will welcome thousands of athletes and spectators for IRONMAN Canada, a long-distance triathlon that had been running in Penticton in the Okanagan Valley for the past 30 years. Whistler won the bid to host the event until 2017, beating out Kelowna, north of Penticton in the Okanagan, and Huntsville, Ontario.
Nestled in the stunning Coast Mountains, this laid-back, outdoorsy community is just a couple of hours north of Vancouver (and its international airport) along the newly expanded Sea to Sky Highway.

Funny thing about those gardens. We enjoy the blooms in the garden so darned much and wish they would last longer but are not always sure how to make it so. Well, if you grow hydrangeas it is pretty simple to dry the blooms and bring them in the house. The above pictures show 'Annabelle' hydrangeas. They were dried in two different ways. I'll briefly discuss the two ways I used to preserve the blooms.
I know of two basic methods for drying big head hydrangeas (this will include mophead hydrangeas (macrophylla) and also the paniculata hydrangeas (Limelight, PeeGee, Pink Diamond, Tardiva, etc) as well as the Annabelle type hydrangeas (arborescens). I know there are more than two methods but these are the simplest ones in my opinion. In the first method I cut several blooms from the shrub when the blooms were mature. That is, they were just passing their prime and beginning to dry. I placed the bouquet in a vase with about 1-2" of water. Over a period of about one week the blooms dried on their own.
In the second method I left the blooms on the shrub to dry naturally. Just prior to the blooms turning brown is when I cut the blooms. These can be placed directly in a vase with no water. Nothing more needs to be done to have these hydrangeas preserved.
I sometimes paint my blooms. Michael's Hobby Store sells a mist aerosol paint specially made for blooms. It is a very fine paint and will not weigh down the flowers. This paint works great and comes in a wide variety of colors. You might also spray the flowers with hairspray if you don't want to color the blooms. The hairspray will help the petals hold up a bit longer.
Flowers dried in this way can last for many years but do tend to get covered with dust. It is difficult to dust dried flowers so I usually throw my old flowers out. One thing to note, if you are into feng shui you do not want dried flowers in your house at all. I tread a fine line because I do like feng shui and try to practice it, but I also love my hydrangeas in the house as well. My compromise is to not have as many dried flowers as I'd like and to toss them in the spring. Your choice for sure.
I know this is an easy question, but which hydrangea was dried in water and which one was dried on the shrub in the above picture? The green or the white? And can you see the oakleaf hydrangeas outside the window? They dried naturally on the shrub. I'll enjoy those blooms from inside the house when it is icy outside.

The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin's Heart and Vascular Center was awarded the Gold Seal of Approval by The Joint Commission for their Adult VAD Destination Therapy Program.
Froedtert & the Medical College have one of the fastest growing advanced heart failure and VAD programs in the nation.
Ventricular assist devices (VAD), which are surgically implanted mechanical pumps that help the heart pump blood, are being used with significant success. VADs can be a bridge to transplant – helping a patient survive months or years until a donor heart is available.
For patients who are not good transplant candidates however, the VAD can be the permanent therapy – also called "destination" therapy – improving their health and quality of life. Our success rate using a VAD as a bridge to transplant is significantly higher than the national average. Our program is also certified as a VAD Destination Therapy Program by the Joint Commission, an independent and nationally recognized health care certification organization.
Some advanced heart failure patients may not be good candidates for a heart transplant because of certain conditions such as severe lung, liver or kidney disease and cancer. For recent cancer patients, for example, the need to suppress the immune system after transplant to avoid rejection of the new heart could cause the cancer to come back.
If transplant is not an option, implanting a small, sophisticated VAD is a viable alternative as a destination therapy. Patients can return home and enjoy an improved quality of life with a VAD.
In December 2012, an Advanced Heart Failure Program patient became the first in the U.S. to receive a new ventricular assist device outside of its clinical trial. The device, newly approved by the Food and Drug Administration, can sustain a patient at home for years until a donor heart is available. Read about this improved technology.
A VAD is a mechanical pump that is surgically connected to the heart to help support blood flow and improve heart function. Different types of VADs are used, depending on the patient's individual needs, and the power source is external, usually a mix of battery and electrical power.
A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) pumps blood to the aorta from the left ventricle. The HeartMate II® is one commonly used LVAD. A right ventricular assist device (RVAD) delivers blood to the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle or right atrium. A device that performs both functions is sometimes called a BiVAD.
VADs are most commonly implanted during an open-heart surgical procedure. Patients are usually connected to a heart-lung bypass machine during the procedure. A patient's recovery experience depends on how healthy the patient was before surgery. VAD patients are also closely monitored before, during and after the procedure, and can return to many normal activities after they are released from the hospital.
Even after returning home, VAD patients receive comprehensive follow-up care. Long-term survival rates for VADs are still being studied, but the numbers are improving. For example, an estimated 80 to 85 percent of all heart transplant patients will survive for at least two years. For certain VAD patients, the two-year survival rate is getting close to 70 percent, an encouraging statistic.

Ever wonder what the difference is between a shift dress and a sheath dress? Never really understood the whole "Couture" thing? Use our Style Vocab resource to brush up on some commonly used fashion terms and phrases and improve your fashion IQ – because hey, it takes more than just great clothes to be stylish!
The Baby-Doll style was first popularized by the movie Baby Doll starring Carroll Baker in 1956. Originally worn as a negligee, the baby-doll style has matured over the years into a dress form of it's very own. The style generally features an empire waist cut, and a hemline that falls to about mid thigh.
Ballerina Flats are heelless shoes inspired in their design by ballet slippers. They are usually slip on in their design, and are sometimes called "Skimmers".
A strapless top formed from a band of fabric fitting around the bust. Commonly called a "Tube Top".
Bell-bottoms are trousers styled with a flared cut that becomes dramatically wider from the knees down. Bell-bottoms became very fashionable in the late 1960s and much of the 1970s for both for men and women, during the Hippie movement – and have had a moderate persistence in fashion since then.
A Besom Pocket is a "set-in" pocket (meaning, the pocket opening is cut into the garment rather than applied – "set-on" – like a patch pocket) that is finished and strengthened with "piping" or fabric "welts" along its length.
Bespoke Tailoring describes the process of creating clothing according to a unique buyers specifications. This means the buyer gets to choose exactly which fabrics, colors, cuts, and styles are used, and it guarantees that their garment will truly be one of a kind. Bespoke clothing differs from made-to-measure clothing, or ready-to-wear, in that it is truly custom made.
A Boat Neck, also called a bateau neck, refers to a wide neckline that runs horizontally, front and back, almost to the shoulder points, across the collarbone.
Bohemian refers to a style trend characterized by ethnic inspired clothing, shoes and accessories, combined with lots of layering and a laid back vibe. Bohemian, also know as the boho or bo-ho chic style, has been popularized by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, and the Olsen Twins.
A very short women's jacket that is worn open in the front.
Slim fitted jeans or pants that are contoured throughout the hips and thigh, and flare out slightly below the knee down to the hem. Brands such as Seven for All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, J. Brand, and Joe's Jeans are especially well know for their bootcut denim.
Boucle is an uneven yarn made with threads of varying looseness. The result is a luxe, nubby texture fabric that is commonly used for dress suits, skirt suits, and blazers.
Fabric that is cut against the grain at a 45 degree angle is considered Bias Cut. Using a bias cut allows the fabric to fully stretch, and lends designers the ability to create garments that accentuate a woman's curves while maintaining a fluid drape in the fabric.

SARAH HAMILL: This photograph is a photograph taken in Smith's fields, where he installed a lot of his sculptures in rows and grids outside of his sculpture studio and his house.NARRATOR: Sarah Hamill.SARAH HAMILL: Zig III is framing Two Circle Sentinel, and then off to the right is Zig II. What we're looking at, then, is a comment on photography as a framing device. The photograph is framing the sculpture, and the sculpture is then framing another. NARRATOR: The traditional function of a frame is to set an object off from the surrounding space—to clarify it and to make it stable. We've seen that Smith played with the stabilizing conventions of sculpture. Here he does the same thing with the picture frame. Zig III may frame the works behind it—but it also merges with them. SARAH HAMILL: In many of his photographs of his sculptures in groups, what he did was he created images of them joined together so that. . . the sculptural space and forms composed a cubic picture. And here what we see is Smith using photography as a way to think about pictorial space using his sculpture.
