Flipping the switch: Dietary fat, changes in fat metabolism may promote prostate cancer metastasis
Research reveals interplay between genes, environment in metastatic prostate disease Researchers have shed new light on the genetic mechanisms that promote metastasis in the mouse model and also implicated the typical Western high-fat diet as a key environmental factor driving metastasis. Prostate tumors tend to be what scientists call “indolent” — so slow-growing and self-contained…
