Denis Leary is not a guy you associate with putting out fires. He lights them--the small, contained blazes at the end of the cigarettes he chain-smoked through his angry, comic diatribes, like the one-man show No Cure for Cancer. Yet here he is, backstage at the set of his new TV series, in a New York City fire-department (F.D.N.Y.) uniform, picking at a plate of chicken with rice and beans, talking earnestly about his cousin Jeremiah Lucey, a real-life fireman in Worcester, Mass...

A new study suggests that it is the rate of increase in a man's PSA level, not the level itself, that determines the risk of death from the disease. The study found that among 1,100 men with prostate cancer, those whose PSA levels rose more than 2 points in the year before diagnosis were nearly 10 times as likely...
