When patients stop responding to traditional therapies, they often fight an uphill battle against an aggressive form of the disease. Findings from
African American men are 60% more likely to develop prostate cancer than Caucasian men. Now, a new study may help assess their risk. Researchers say two proteins found in the blood of African American men can predict the likelihood of dying of prostate cancer. A study measured 82 different biomarkers
Almost 20 years in the making, researchers say PYLARIFY® is a triumph for the field of molecular and diagnostic imaging. Another groundbreaking prostate cancer imaging tool is now available at HALO Diagnostics. The tool is an injectable contrasting agent called PYLARIFY® that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a protein found
Before takeoff, flight attendants tell you to “put your oxygen mask on first” in case of an emergency. They tell you to do this so that you are able to breathe and survive while helping those around you. When it comes to prostate cancer awareness and prevention, knowledge is your

Family, safety, and quality of life were top of mind for Wayne Gregory when he chose laser focal therapy to treat his prostate cancer. Now years in remission, he reflected back on his journey, which he called “nothing short of incredible.” “When you get the diagnosis of cancer, it’s like
A new study suggests that screening for prostate cancer using genetic testing and a multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) scan before an invasive biopsy could prevent as many as 1 in 6 deaths from the disease and significantly reduce over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatment.[i] Researchers at the University College of London modeled the
What is a PSA test normal range? What is a dangerous PSA level? When you or a loved one receive a PSA score, some of the first questions that come to mind are, “Is this normal?” and “What now? Do I need to take action?” The answers to those questions
Just as ears and noses get bigger as we age, the prostate gland continues to grow over time.1 In fact, enlarged prostate–also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is so common that medical professionals consider it an inevitable consequence of aging with male hormones. What is not inevitable are
Early detection saves lives. HALO is setting the new standard for prostate care.
