A charity is calling for a drug to treat prostate cancer to be given to Scottish patients on the NHS. Prostate Cancer UK said Scotland is "out on a limb" in not recommending abiraterone for NHS use.

I saw this posted Wednesday on WWW.SCOTSMAN.COM.

"A CHARITY is calling for a prostate cancer drug to be given out on the NHS after Scotland became the only part of the UK where it is not available."

I watch this in the San Buenaventura paper and wanted to share it with you.

A US health agency advises against routine prostate cancer screening while a new study claims it has made aggressive forms of the disease less common

"The human papilloma virus (HPV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) have both been found in more than half of sampled malignant prostate cancers."
