Magnets aid body’s fight against prostate cancer

In a remarkable medical breakthrough, researchers at the University of Sheffield claim to have developed a novel treatment that uses microscopic magnets to aid body's defense system, the white blood cells, to kill prostate tumours.

The novel technique may help treat most advance stage of prostate cancer for which there are only few drugs available, experts say.

William Aronson, Professor at the University of California and the principal investigator of the trial conducted a comparative study regarding omega 3 fats.

Researchers find why some specific prostate cancers develop fast

A recent study from the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Centre explains in a detailed assessment of 23 genetic codes why some prostate cancer types evolve at a very high speed and become resistant to treatment.

During their research the scientists found three types of tumors that had mutations ten times more than compared to some more advanced stages of prostate cancers.
