Ever read a headline claiming a "breakthrough" prostate cancer treatment and wondered if it's actually true? In this quick, simple guide, epidemiologist and prostate cancer researcher Paul Arangua walks through the same checkpoints scientists use to evaluate research, so you can read health news and study claims with a more critical eye.

In this video, you'll learn:
Why the population studied matters (and when results don't apply to you)
Why sample size changes how much you should trust a result
The difference between a randomized controlled trial and an observational study
Why a cure in mice doesn't mean a cure in humans
Why correlation is not the same as causation
Who funded the study, and why that matters
How to spot red flags like "miracle" or "breakthrough" claims

Paul, an epidemiologist with over 20 years of experience in prostate cancer research, diagnostics, and patient education, including over a decade directing the research program in Urologic Oncology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
