Bone Density May Predict Prostate Cancer in Old Age
Published: July 30, 2010
Bone scans might help identify men at high risk for aggressive prostate tumors as they age, researchers said.
Starting at about age 70, men in a long-term prospective cohort study who were diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancers tended to have relatively high levels of bone mineral content when measured up to 35 years earlier, reported Stacy Loeb, MD, of Johns Hopkins University, and colleagues.
