Scientists have discovered a new treatment that could halt the progression of #prostate cancer, this is reported in The Independent. Researchers at the University of Bristol, The University of Nottingham and the University of the West of England (UWE) have identified a compound that inhibits the activity of a molecule which helps cancer cells to grow and multiply. The SRPK1 molecule plays a key role in angiogenesis - the process through which tumours are able to develop blood vessels in order to obtain the nutrients they need to grow. The Food Doctor says heres a tip to help prevent the onset of the cancer in the first place. Cruciferous Vegetables: Research suggests that a clear link exists between the intake of cruciferous vegetables and prevention of prostate cancer.
