Researcher:

Dominic Smiraglia

Project Description:

In Dr. Smiraglia�s new study, he is comparing the development of prostate cancer in mice fed a folate-restricted diet to mice that are fed a diet that is supplemented with folate. He hopes to show that dietary folate restriction, when combined with androgen deprivation therapy, will result in decreased cancer recurrence.
