Drinking water can be an important source of exposure to nitrate and disinfection by-products, including trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). N-nitroso compounds formed endogenously after nitrate ingestion are animal carcinogens, and THM and HAA exposures increase the risk of some cancers....

The time dependence in the performance of prognostic factors for cancer survival is typically incompletely understood, including in prostate cancer. We applied a "cumulative/dynamic" time-varying area under the curve (tAUC) for cumulative incidence of lethal prostate cancer (metastases/cancer-specific...

Prostate cancer and its treatment can impact health-related quality of life. Evidence for physical activity strategies sustained over long periods to improve quality of life is limited. Given the limited feasibility of a randomized trial to answer this question, we emulated a target trial of physical...

This study aimed to design and synthesize three new selenium adducts to evaluate their anticancer potential against human prostate cancer (PC3) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines using MTT assays. Imidazole-based selenium adducts, 1,3-dipropyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-selen one (C ...

This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy delivered in 20 fractions (IMRT-20) compared with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for patients with localized low-risk prostate cancer in Japan. A state-transition Markov model was developed...
