THE
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY estimates that
nearly 233,000 new cases of prostate
cancer will be diagnosed this year in
the United States, and that 30,350
men will die from the disease. U.Va.
Health System researchers have been awarded
a five-year grant for more than $6 million
to investigate a cell
signaling
process
that may help to explain the way that
prostate cancer spreads. “This knowledge
will hopefully lead to clinical trials
that we can design and carry out at U.Va.,”
said Dr. Dan Theodorescu, director of
U.Va.’s Mellon Prostate Cancer Institute
and principal investigator of this project.

As
quickly as The Stones rolled into town, they
were gone, but not before giving an explosive
performance that rocked U.Va.’s Scott
Stadium last Thursday. Now, a few yellow
spots in the grass are all that remain as
a reminder of the phenomenal concert. The
dismantling of the colossal stage over the
weekend found that Harrison Field had survived
the concert’s elements, including heavy
rain, virtually unscathed. Full
story.
