This image shows patient derived tumor organoids before (top) and after treatment (bottom). The colors show the activation of pathways related to cell differentiation in cancer stem cells. Shortly after these images were taken, the cancer stem cells spontaneously collapsed. Photo credit: Pradipta Ghosh/HUMANOID What the New Science of Cancer Reversion Means for Prostate Cancer Patients Breakthrough studies from Korea and San Diego have demonstrated that cancer cells can be reprogrammed back toward normality — not killed, but re-educated. The implications for prostate cancer patients — from newly diagnosed to late-stage mCRPC — are potentially profound. Special Science Update — March 2026 Prepared by the IPCSG Educational Committee Bottom Line Up Front A cluster of recent studies — led by researchers at KAIST in South Korea and UC San Diego — has demonstrated that cancer cells can be systemati...
