New Drug for Prostate Cancer

Scientists are hailing a new drug to treat aggressive prostate cancer as a major breakthrough.

It’s called Abiraterone. And it could potentially treat up to 80% of patients with the deadliest form of the disease. The drug works by blocking the hormones which fuel the cancer. An advanced clinical trial is now underway and –- researchers hope – the treatment could be widely available in two or three years. From London Stephen Beard reports.
