"Published in the journal Cancer Research, the discovery has potential to lead to the development of a blood test that could predict whether cancer will spread from the prostate tumour to other parts of the body. The research also reveals potential new targets for drugs that may inhibit the spread of cancer."

Would be nice to have another tool in the box to help make a treatment decision.

Boy-oh-boy wouldn't that be a game changer?

Big assumptions here but if it came with few SE's wouldn't everyone start taking a "pill" at the time of dx to prevent the spread while going through and after treatment?
