As we have come to expect, the Johns Hopkins Medicine Health Alerts always contain useful information for prostate cancer patients. For example, the January 19th, 2014 issue contained a primer describing the basic concepts and rationale of hormonal therapy. The February 9th edition reported three published studies which link coffee drinking and caffeine to a risk reduction for several types of cancer including aggressive prostate cancer, and its recurrence and progression. Thirdly, the February 16th issue described a study that concluded that PSA velocity (the rate of PSA change over time) “accurately predicted which men would develop prostate cancer and was significantly more accurate than a single PSA measurement in predicting which men would develop aggressive disease.”
