- Deprived of androgen hormones, the receptor finds an alternative genetic
pathway to continue growth of prostate cancer cells. An understanding
of this behavior could lead to new therapies targeting specific genes.

of selenium in the blood was associated with a two-fold greater risk of
poorer outcomes than men with the lowest amounts of selenium.

Researchers from the Broad Institute, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and
Weill Cornell Medical College have laid bare the full genetic blueprint
of multiple prostate tumors, uncovering alterations that have never
before been detected and offering a deep view of the genetic missteps
that underlie the disease.

- Scientists at Dana-Farber report they have blocked the
development of prostate tumors in cancer-prone mice by knocking out a
molecular unit they described as a "powerhouse" that drives runaway cell
growth.
