Shorter radiation therapy after prostate surgery safe, UCLA study finds

Advanced PET/CT imaging can improve long-term outcomes in recurrent prostate cancer, UCLA-led study finds

A five-year retrospective study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT scans can help doctors target treatment more precisely for men whose prostate cancer returns after surgery, improving long-term outcomes and potentially reducing unnecessary side effects.

Lab-grown organoids reveal how glioblastoma resists treatment

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how the aggressive cancer interacts with surrounding brain cells and the immune system to become more invasive and resistant to therapy.

UCLA launches trial comparing two types of PSMA radiopharmaceuticals for recurrent prostate cancer

Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have opened a clinical trial that will look at whether combining precision radiation with a targeted radioactive therapy drug can help patients with recurrent prostate cancer delay progression, while delaying or avoiding the side effects of long-term hormone therapy.
