New model of prostate cancer helps identify promising pain treatment
1st Dec 2005, 20:09 GMT
Researchers have developed a new line of prostate cancer cells that they hope will provide a better model to study the disease. This new cancer-cell line has already provided some help. One new study in mice identified a promising possible therapy to reduce skeletal pain that accompanies prostate cancer. Scientists found that a substance called anti-nerve growth factor appeared to be more effective in controlling pain in mice than even morphine.
