Australian doctors are claiming positive results after trialling a new class of drugs on late stage prostate cancer. The disease is difficult to treat, and 3,200 Australian men still die of prostate cancer each year.

The second trial drug, called Veyonda, was developed by Australian doctor Graham Kelly.
