Thank you. At first blush this looks like a very interesting read and update.

PCF also had an interesting newsletter earlier in the week on the benefits that restricting calories might have Giving Cancer a 'Brown-Out' - Limiting Prostate Cancer's Fuel by Restricting Calories and Changing the Diet

This is why I support PCF... with 82 cents out of a dollar going into breakthrough research...the studies involving BiTEs and CAR-T as well as other drugs is going to make all the difference in the world for us as patients. Something that so many other organizations that take donations do not accomplish for donors. Recently, they gave money for the RAVENS trial to investigate SBRT plus Xofigo in oligometastatic patients. For those with 1-3 met lesions, this may be a game changer in dealing with micrometastatic bone disease. This trial is still recruiting.

btca,

Thanks for posting this information. The 2020 Scientific Retreat report was illuminating and the science continues to make inroads on our disease. PCF has also given money and time to help out the VA in providing services and treatment for veterans. Good stuff....

Thanks for reminding me/us of the fine information in these PCF Annual Scientific Retreat Reports. I had failed to read the most current one. The information presented in the first several presentations seems to validate TMPRSS2 as the main culprit in the greater infection rate in men than in women. Good stuff. Thanks again. Stay Safe - K9
