SCIENCE CODEX: The largest single-institution study of its kind has found few complications in prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy after surgery to remove the prostate. Men in this study received radiotherapy after a PSA test following surgery indicated their cancer had recurred. READ MORE>

MAY 24: TIMES OF THE INTERNET: US researchers have linked low oxygen levels in prostate tumors to cancer recurrence. Using a statistical model that accounted for such risk factors as tumor grade, prostate-specific antigen level and tumor size, researchers at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia found low oxygen — hypoxia — in the tumor before treatment to be a significant independent predictor of an increase in PSA levels.
