Paper from Kristin A. Taskén's group published in Europen Urology and commented in Renal & Urology News
In an article recently published in the high-rated journal Europen Urology (journal impact factor 8.493) Kristin A. Taskén and coworkers show that beta-blocker use by men with high-risk or metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with a decreased risk of PCa-specific mortality.
The findings are given attention on the online medical news website Renal & Urology News, in an article entitled "Beta-Blockers May Lower PCa Mortality in High-Risk Patients".
