Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. In the February 1 issue of Cancer Research, they suggest the same strategy might work for men with rising levels of PSA (prostate specific antigen) , a potential diagnostic indicator of prostate cancer.

Hello Jon,
This is great news for men who have a history of prostate cancer in their families - since the disease can be genetic.
Two questions: Do male mice have prostates? Or are they simply saying that the vaccine kills any cancer in mice?
