New hope to keep the men we love safe from ‘that’ cancer

October 23, 2008 on 3:23 pm | In Culture |

Scientists have amazingly grown a prostate gland from just a single cell in a wonderful breakthrough that could pave the way for new cancer drugs. In a ‘compelling and important study’, researchers turned a stem cell from a mouse prostate into an entire gland.
This finding is likely to speed research into ways of beating prostate cancer and this, if it all succeeds, will surely be one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern science.

As more men begin to develop this cancer at a younger age - some in their early forties - it is so important that a cure be found. No longer just the domain of the older man environmental factors are being blamed for the increase in younger men being diagnosed with this terrible disease.

Keep your fingers crossed that a cure will come out of this latest breakthrough - especially if you have sons.
