A Promising Approach to Curing Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men (after skin cancer), and while it can often be treated successfully, metastatic disease remains challenging.\n\nLloyd Trotman, PhD\u2014a former American Cancer Society grantee and Professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\u2014is trying to change that. \n\nHe and his team recently developed the first genetic mouse model for the treatment and analysis of metastatic prostate cancer. Now they are seeking to translate their findings into patients to \u201cturn lethal prostate cancer into a curable disease.\u201d*\n\nIn this interview he talks about the challenges of metastatic prostate cancer, the exciting discoveries he and his team have made, and how his work is getting closer to patients.\n\n*https://www.cshl.edu/research/faculty-staff/lloyd-trotman/
