I have had some correspondence with some posters on the TGX thread. One is particular raised some interesting points. I will paste his message into this one and perhaps somebody with a stronger scientific knowledge can respond. Thanks, Tim \| Next \| Respond \| To: Timothy Houston (149 ) From: D. Floyd Russell Thursday, Feb 4 1999 8:07PM ET Reply # of 151 I checked with my brother the urologist. Animals by themselves do not have what it takes to test anything about prostate cancer. Human prostate cancer cells can be and are transplanted into mice and made to grow. That provides some sort of basis for testing. To me that would seem to be an unsatisfactory or incomplete test vehicle. What ever mouse body chemistry is going on would seem to offer a chance for all sorts of distorted results. The human prostate material would also not be in its native environment with whatever interaction normally goes on within the human male body chemistry. Perhaps scientists have ways of isolating the effect of these alien environments? In any case, it is a fairly long way from this kind of testing to a real world product usable within humans, if ever there is to be one.
