Possible link found between x-rays and prostate cancer
Researchers at The University of Nottingham have shown an association between certain past diagnostic radiation procedures and an increased risk of young-onset prostate cancer - a rare form of prostate cancer which affects about 10 per cent of all men diagnosed with the disease.   view more (2008-07-16)

ESA and the EU: the start of a new partnership
Negotiations on a framework agreement for structured cooperation between ESA and the European Community have been concluded.
