Hi all, more on prostate cancer,

A round-up of the latest medical research, as reported in

professional journals. Cutting the amount of hormone therapy given

for prostate cancer can reduce the death rate by half, say

researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. The research is

published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A new

vaccine that targets proteins in human papillomavirus may protect

against cervical cancer according to research published in the

Journal of Virology. The new vaccine stimulates the immune system to

attack protein E6, a component of HPV that causes cells in the

cervix to become malignant.
