For the first time, researchers have discovered that prostate cancer can be killed by targeting a single enzyme, called PI5P4Kα. The findings, published recently in Science Advances, could help address the growing threat of treatment resistance in prostate cancer and could also lead to improved treatments for other cancers, such as those affecting the breast, skin, and pancreas.

hi George, should have known you’d be first to post this. Not sure when we’ll see a trial but it might just coincide with my predicted CR timeline. How you been doing.

Wow, very promising!. Let's hope a trial is available when I become CR whenever that may be.

The details in the articles fly over my head, but seeing the word lipid many times (fats), I wonder if there is a connection between these reports and the idea that a statin contributes to the control of PCA. I take a low dose of rosuvastatin to drive my cholesterol and lipids to very healthy levels. The devil is always in taking and applying findings out of a petri dish. Wondering when TallAllen will contribute to this thread. ;-)

the latest statin study recently reported here by pjoshea said rosuvastatin didnt help but simvastatin did

Hi, thanks, but did you mean to provide a link to that statin study?
