VA Research Wrap Up: New findings on prostate cancer, aging in place and TBI
Researchers have made progress in understanding prostate cancer. A new system uses DNA to classify the risk of death from this disease. This system was developed using data from a large group of patients.
The system categorizes patients into groups based on their genetic profiles. This information can help patients and doctors make informed decisions about treatment. Further details about this research and other studies are available from the VA's Office of Research and Development, including information on a program to help Veterans stay in their homes as they age.
