JimJimJimJim Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 With many drugs in prostate cancer some men respond, and some don't. Why this is so is the big question. Maybe the answer is in their genes, or in the genes of the prostate cancer cells. That's what this study is trying to find out. As men enter 4 trials of drugs researchers from this project will at the same time look at their prostate cancer genomes. The hope is that if the genes tell us who will respond and who will not, we can check for these genes and then offer the patient drugs that work, and not subject them to drugs that will not work for them.
