Nature recently published a great Outlook Supplement on prostate cancer including an article that highlights our team at Johns Hopkins. See the article here: Microbiology: Inflammatory evidence. The article features ongoing work by Dr. Angelo De Marzo, Dr. William Nelson, Dr. Elizabeth Platz, Dr. Scott Lucia, and others on a potential role for chronic inflammation in prostate carcinogenesis. For more information on this topic, see Nelson et al NEJM, 2003 and De Marzo et al Nature Rev. Cancer, 2007.
