---------------------------------
Metastatic prostate cancer has so far resisted efforts to cure or slow it down. But there are some promising treatment approaches—including an effort at John Hopkins School of Medicine to develop medications that seek and destroy the metastasized cancer cells while avoiding or minimizing damage to the rest of the body. We need your help to fund these efforts. The better the funding, the faster the research team can proceed.
