Re: Subject: Gene fusion is the 'smoking gun' in the development of prostate cancer: Study

[Guest guest]

The news article cited by Roy is interesting. However, the full paper is

available free on line at:

rue

It is highly technical and the research, as often is the case, is not as

clear cut an advance as implied by the positive news article.

It does open another avenue for more research into how genetic abnormalities

affect the development of prostate cancer, as well as affecting how hormone

blockade slows prostate cancer progression (and ultimately fails).

Increasingly it appears that the ultimate key to control of our disease is

likely to be highly specific to the genetics of the individual patient.

Another " Different strokes for different folks " , and " No one size fits all "

bit of research.

Interesting how apt the 'old saw' sayings are to today's issues.....

The Best to You and Yours!
