Henry, I have a close family friend who has just been diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I was hoping that you may give me some information on the latest treatments/drugs for this. Also, what is being done on the research level for new treatments & drugs for prostate cancer. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, JT

Henry,

But isn't this one case where rat results definitely differ from human results? Very few would be concerned about any possible long term effects on the rat. But some would be concerned about possible long term effects on women who *likely* would never develop cancer in the first place..... This may be more on the ethics/liability side than the technology one.

Cheers, Torben
