"Major breakthrough" in prostate cancer research

United kingdom researchers yesterday annouced what some call the most important breakthrough in prostate cancer treatment in 70 years.

Abiraterone, the new drug being tested, may offer hope for treatment of advanced prostate cancer tumors for up to 80% of men for who treatmnet options were limited.

One physician said while not offering a cure for prostate cancer, this may open the door to making PCa a "treatable disease".

Encouraging news!
