Medical News - Prostate Cancer

Exercise Lowers Risk of Prostate Cancer, Less Aggressive Disease:
By Duke Medicine News and Communications -

This article should be of interest to "The Boyz" out there. I saw it in my quarterly issue of  Duke Medical magazine, tracked down a copy from their web site, Duke Health , and posted it here. You might want to visit the site from time to time, just to stay current with what's happening in medical breakthroughs.

Breaking News - From COMPUTERWORLD Magazine
"Scientists at the University of Toronto reported today that the chip not only detects cancer but also can detect the type and severity of it. The chip, built with nanowires, is designed to sense trace amounts of cancer bio-markers, which are biologic molecules that indicate the presence or progression of a disease."
