I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean latest developments in cases numbers, diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis, you would be better doing a Google search. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and given hormone treatment for three years plus twenty sessions of external beam radiotherapy followed by two sessions of HDR temporary implant brachytherapy. This was considered the appropriate curative treatment in my case, but it depends on the individual and how advanced the cancer is.

I work alongside a cancer researcher in a medical research institute. At the moment she is looking at primary prostate cancer cells and determing the gene expression in these cells. The cells will then be treated with drugs that alter the expression of genes which can then tell her whether the cancer is regulated by this type of gene expression (DNA methylation to be more specific). At the moment it is more figuring out how the cancer is caused and how it works.
