The War with Cancer
At the recent annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, John Hopkins University researchers reported that a new type of PSA (Prostate-Specific Androgen) test may help predict which types of prostate cancers are more aggressive than others; helping patients determine the urgency of treatment.
Robert W. Veltri, Ph.D, principle researcher and associate professor of urology and oncology at Hopkins stated, “What we have shown is that using the Prostate Health Index and tissue DNA measurement is informative in separating out patients whose cancers are likely to progress vs. those that are not likely to progress.”

The War with Cancer
An intriguing Saint Louis University study indicates that Bitter Melon may potentially be helpful in the fight against breast cancer. One of the researchers noted, “The bitter melon extract killed only the cancer cells, not the healthy breast cells.” Although it’s just a preliminary study and hasn’t been human tested yet, it’s good to see research like this.
