I don't know if everyone is aware of the prostate cancer symposium in San
Francisco this weekend but it may prove to have some interesting
information. Antonia Scatton, the editor of Aware will be attending the
symposium and providing daily updates on the presentations and materials.
You can see her updates by going to www.fightprostatecancer.org.

I have included a brief synopsis of the meeting from the ASCO website.
