A new treatment for advanced prostate cancer can halt and even shrink tumours, 'remarkable' trials have shown. Until now, this type of treatment had not proved effective for prostate cancer patients, with little reduction in tumours or severe side-effects. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in British men with 55,000 new cases a year. Almost half (45 per cent) of patients saw their tumour shrink, found the team, led by Professor Johann de Bono. The Daily Mail has campaigned for more than two decades for better prostate cancer care.
