it for his advantage. the former president claimed that, in the few hours since the verdict was delivered, he had already raised almost $40 million in campaignfunds. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. researchers say a simple saliva test is proving more effective at identifying men at high risk of prostate cancer than standard blood tests. cancer research organisations say it promises to turn the tide on the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. for more, i spoke to naser turabi, the director of evidence and implementation at cancer research uk. this test looks for particular genetic variants and it uses a saliva test. so hopefully that will be much easier to take. now, the situation with prostate cancer now is that the current test, known as the psa test, often misses the aggressive cancers and can actually lead to overtreatment of cancers that never would have
the fight between heavyweight boxing legend mike tyson and youtube star turned fighterjake paul has been postponed the contest had been scheduled forjuly 20th but has been put on hold after tyson was said to have experienced a medical issue last sunday while on a cross country flight. he s since said an ulcer flare up. a new date will be announced later next week with texas still expected to host the fight. we will have more sport for you later but that is all for now. studio: chetan, thank you. also flare up, that sounds pretty grim. thanks so much. ulcer. researchers say that a saliva test, to identify men who are most at risk of prostate cancer, could turn the tide on the disease. the team from the institute of cancer research and the royal marsden hospital say preliminary findings show the test is better than a standard blood test. for more, i spoke to naser turabi, the director of evidence
one of the challenges we have is the genetic pools we have access to via research need to be broader, they need to reflect the diversity of the population, and particularly it is said that black men are at higher risk of prostate cancer, but we really need to understand the genetics of that, because it could potentially be a subset of black men, so when you are testing people for cancer, and one of the risks is over treatment, we need to be extremely careful to follow through patients to see what happened to their cancers and see if they would have cost harm. that s why we need more research. we have cost harm. that s why we need more research. more research. we don t have much time, but arguably more research. we don t have much time, but arguably a more research. we don t have much time, but arguably a saliva - more research. we don t have much time, but arguably a saliva test - more research. we don t have much time, but arguably a saliva test is i time, but arguably a saliva t
and implementation at cancer research uk. this test looks for particular genetic variants and it uses a saliva test. so hopefully that will be much easier to take. now, the situation with prostate cancer now is that the current test, known as the psa test, often misses the aggressive cancers and can actually lead to overtreatment of cancers that never would have actually progressed. so any progress in this area is very welcome. and so by looking at genetics, this test can be much more targeted, hopefully, than the psa test. it s still early days, though, for this test, and it needs more research because we need to test it in a wider pool of people to see if these results stand out. but anything that can detect those aggressive prostate cancers, which are about one in five prostate cancers, is really, really welcome. there s a huge amount of work going on right now across a whole number of cancers on genetic testing. and the challenge with cancer is that you have to cast the net very wi
do not work. when dogs attack, they say, the problem is responsible owners, not dangerous breeds. elouise still has to cross the street when she sees a dog, but this week celebrated an important milestone in her recovery. little miss glamour uk 2024 and this is you, you ve just won this, haven t you? what did the judges say about you? they say you are very confident and beautiful. yeah. you ve been through a lot, haven t you? you have, haven t you? but you re getting there. congratulations on your award, elouise. say thank you. thank you. congratulations. researchers say a simple saliva test is proving more
