What about men who have more advanced prostate cancer? What do you think the best treatments
out there are for men right now?
Well, you know prostate cancer is in a renaissance. For many years, we did not have very good
treatments. The mainstay has always been hormone treatments. It turns out that if you block
a man's testosterone, the male hormone in the blood that will cause the cancer to regress
and a lot of the treatments are build around that type of therapy as you can imagine that's
not a very happy type of thing, a man's sex drive disappears, usually causes erectile
dysfunction and a long list of things which we will go into, but there have been about
four or five new treatments approved for advanced prostate cancer just in the last 24 months.
And I have been doing this 20 years and over my career, there have only been two other
new treatments approved for advanced prostate cancer. Now, we have four new ones within
the last 24 months with more on the way. This is a very exciting time in the industry which
seen the computer industry changed over the last 10 to 15 years. We are starting to see
that type of rapid revolution in the medical
industry
as well.
