Man With Advanced Prostate Cancer Said To Be Cured After Physicians “Shocked” His Tumor With Large Amounts Of Testosterone.

reports that “a man with advanced prostate cancer is believed to be cured after doctors ‘shocked’ his tumour to death with huge amounts of testosterone.” This “result has been described as ‘unexpected’ and ‘exciting’ because most prostate cancer therapies work by depriving tumours of testosterone, because cancer uses it as a fuel.” Meanwhile, “other seriously ill men taking part in the same trial showed responses that astounded scientists, with tumours shrinking and the progress of their disease halted.” The findings were presented at symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/11/30/man-cured-prostate-cancer-doctors-shock-tumour-death-testosterone/
