To Break the Disease, Break the Mold
There are four other guest editorials on cancer linked under OpEd Contributors on the NY Times editorial page if you click this link. It won't bite you. Just avoid the politics.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Thanks ND.
My husband had surgery about 10years ago, for BPH, and ever since then he has been concerned about the possibility of being more at risk for prostate cancer...so I will print out this article, and he can read it...just more information to add, to what other information he already has...thanks...
for some reason, when I saw, "stroke risk", I immediately thought "prostate".

Buried my brother 2 months ago from this.
Given that prostate cancer is a finding found in most autopsies of any American over 80, it'd be interesting to know how they controlled for age in the study. Instead of a tendency to develop PC, they may have just discovered markers for a tendency to develop PC at an earlier age.
As far as I'm concerned, PC is systemic, and in our culture is a naturally occuring disease of aging.
