Newcastle prostate cancer treatment will save thousands of lives

A NEW treatment for prostate cancer, which Hunter researchers administered, is predicted to save more than 1000 Australian lives each year.

University of Newcastle conjoint Professor Jim Denham described the new medication option as “the holy grail” to beating the most aggressive forms of the disease.

He said this was because it reduced the spread of localised tumours by 40 per cent.

In a trial called RADAR, men were put on a combination of testosterone-suppression therapy, a drug that’s used for osteoporosis, called zoledronic acid, and radiation therapy over 18 months.

As one of those that have attended Edgar’s Fortified Master Classes at Dayton's it's no surprise but it is nice to see Drayton's fine fortified wines get the recognition they deserve.
