Good news for men… A new drug to eliminate prostate cancer • Al Marsad Journal

Daily Al-Marsad – Agencies: hopes are growing with the development of scientific research to produce a specific drug for one of the most common tumors among men, which is prostate cancer.

The UK NHS will become the first healthcare provider to offer darulutamide to patients whose prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

According to Britain’s Daily Mail, drug studies have shown that the chances of living longer increase by a third in men who have not previously been treated.

The drug works by blocking androgen receptors in cancer cells, which in turn blocks the effect of testosterone, which allows cancer cells to survive and multiply.

The health service said it would start offering the drug to eligible prostate cancer patients within weeks.
