This study is testing whether daily high-dose fish oil supplements can slow the progression of prostate cancer in men whose cancer is returning after initial treatment. Forty men with rising PSA levels but no visible spread of cancer will take either the fish oil supplement or a …

This study is testing whether a diet rich in fish oils (omega-3s) combined with a medication called dutasteride can slow down or control the progression of low-risk prostate cancer. It involves 120 men who are already on 'active surveillance' for their cancer. Participants follow…

This early-stage study is testing whether adding three common cholesterol-lowering drugs to standard chemotherapy is safe and feasible for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The idea is that by drastically lowering the body's cholesterol, the drugs might 'starve' the fast-gr…
