Competence against insufficiency: Why are men mostly safe from a rare and deadly prostate cancer?

Mathew, G., Trotman, L. C. (June 2020) Competence against insufficiency: Why are men mostly safe from a rare and deadly prostate cancer? Journal of Experimental Medicine, 217 (6). e20200087. ISSN 0022-1007

Abstract

Prostate cancer is a slow-growing disease, but not always. A highly rare and lethal form of the disease shows survival rates of less than a year. It is called squamous cell prostate carcinoma. In this issue of JEM, Hermanova et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20191787) provide new findings in mouse demonstrating a strong genetic handle on both the reasons behind the rarity and the aggressiveness.
