Study of men with inherited DNA repair mutations opens new therapeutic avenues in prostate cancer

Selected by the American Society of Clinical Oncology to first outing during its Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, Translating Evidence to Multidisciplinary Care, February 8 - 10 (San Francisco, USA), Joaquin Mateo, Principal Investigator of VHIO's recently created Prostate Cancer Translational Research Group, will today reveal findings from a retrospective and international study showing for the first time that patients with inherited DNA repair mutations benefit from standard therapies in a similar way to other metastatic prostate cancer patients.

Impairing rare group of intestinal cells allows gut bacteria to cause inflammation, study finds

The human microbiome - the trillions of tiny bacteria that live in and on our bodies - is emerging as an increasingly important player in health and wellness. But, our co-existence with these organisms is complex, and scientists are learning that even minor changes in this relationship can lead to big problems with our health.
