摘要

If you are a man-or a woman who loves one-read this and reap. The longer a man lives, the greater his chances of getting prostate cancer. But the buoyant new truth is that scientists and medical companies are closer than ever before to taming this threat, reducing prostate cancer to a chronic, manageable-and utterly survivable-disease. For most of 60 years men with advanced cases have had a dearth of treatments other than crude hormone therapy adopted in the 1940s, which essentially was a form of chemical castration. Now researchers are on the brink of a revolution in prostate care, deploying an arsenal of new weapons that were all but unimaginable 20 years ago. A hundred experimental drugs are now in human efficacy trials, targeted at crucial "lethality" genes that help some tumors spread and kill. State-of-the-art robotic surgery can remove the prostate while preserving the delicate nerves needed for sexual function. New computer-guided systems for pinpoint radiation can zap tumors at far higher doses than previously possible, without destroying healthy tissue. And futuristic genetic tests will single out which men are most likely to get the most virulent forms of the disease, letting preemptive treatment begin years before cancer turns deadly.
