"A type of prostate cell that has been largely ignored by cancer researchers can, in fact, trigger malignant prostate cancer, according to new studies by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) scientists and their colleagues. HHMI researcher Owen N. Witte and his colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) found that the somewhat overlooked prostate basal cell can spawn tumors ..."

"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with about 1 in 6 affected. Like so many other cancers, catching it early is the key. Now, doctors have discovered a new means of early detection using dogs."

"A cell that could be the "mother" of all prostate tumours has been identified by scientists. Samples of the "basal" cells taken from healthy human prostate tissue triggered cancer in mice with suppressed immune systems."

( Howard Hughes Medical Institute ) A type of prostate cell that has been largely ignored by cancer researchers can trigger malignant prostate cancer. The studies provide researchers with a new tool for exploring the genetic changes that lead to prostate cancer. The advance may help in developing new treatments for the disease, which causes some 32,000 deaths in the United States annually.
