scientists have discovered an achilles ' heel of prostate -lrb- pictured -rrb- cancer that could lead to better treatment for many men diagnosed with the disease . british scientists have discovered an ` achilles ' heel ' in prostate cancer which could lead to better treatments . the disease claims almost 11,000 lives a year in the uk , with most deaths occurring after it spreads around the body . the latest study gets to the root of this spread , and could mean better outcomes for the 42,000 men a year diagnosed with the illness . scientists funded by cancer research uk studied samples taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten affected men . reading the dna revealed details of how the cancer metastasises , or spreads , allowing them to build a ` family tree ' of how the disease changes over time . it seems that most of the cells in a tumour stay where they are . however , a small number have the ability to travel through the body , creating new tumours as they go . these cells are the ` root ' of the cancer and for a treatment to work , they should be destroyed . in future , doctors may be able to find these key cells in individual patients . -lrb- cnn -rrb- remember knut , the adorable polar bear who captured hearts in 2006 ? now it 's his baby half-brother 's turn . they could then be given drugs to wipe them out , with each patient 's treatment tailored to the genetic flaw at the root of their cancer . this should kill the new tumours and prevent more from forming , greatly improving odds of survival . cambridge university researcher professor david neal said some suitable drugs already exist , and that new ones are being developed all the time . however , he cautioned that it will be three to five years before the latest knowledge can be routinely put to use in the nhs . lead study author professor ros eeles , from the institute of cancer research in london , said : ` we gained a much broader view of prostate cancer by studying both the original cancer and the cells that had spread to other parts of the body . enemy drones have become a major threat on the battlefield , and the uu navy hopes a roof mounted laser could be the answer . its ground-based air defense directed energy on-the-move program , commonly referred to as gbad , allowing controllers to simply drive the weapon to a target . once drones are spotted , it can them shoot them out of the sky with a high powered laser . scroll down for video . ` we found that all of the cells that had broken free shared a common ancestor cell in the prostate . ` the common faults we found in each man could potentially offer new targets for treatment .
