 British scientists have discovered a new Achilles heel in prostate cancer, which could lead to better treatment options. The researchers found that a specific protein called "prostate-specific membrane antigen" (PSMA) is present in high levels in prostate cancer cells and plays a crucial role in the development of the disease. This discovery could potentially lead to more effective treatments for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
