"Scientists have linked estrogen to the development of a particularly aggressive type of tumour that accounts for half of all prostate cancer cases.
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have found that hormonal signals from estrogen encourage two genes, known as TMPRSS2 and ERG, to fuse, which then causes the tumour to form."
