We have shown that prostate cancer (PCA) ceils can exist in four stages of progression in culture media or in experimental animals based on their androgen (A) dependency or sensitivity. This is in contrast with the common characterization of prostate tumors as occurring in two forms, simply ...

total energy intake (as reflected by body mass index) and dietary fat have been incriminated. In addition, there is some evidence that suggests thatobesityleads to an increased risk of having a more aggressive, larger prostate cancer, which results in a poorer outcome after treatment. Nevertheles...
but which of these risk factors cause a prostate cell to become cancerous is not fully known. For a cancer to develop, changes must occur in the chemicals that make up the DNA, which makes up the genes in the cell. The genes control how the cell ...
examination or PSA that suggest that symptoms will develop soon. Observation treatment is not trying to cure the cancer, rather to treat symptoms of cancer progression. Thus, observation treatment is preferred for men with low-risk prostate cancer and with a life expectancy of less than 10 years...
Collectively, our data supportdeletion as a late genetic event in human prostate cancer, presumably a 'second hit' afterrearrangement.deletion andrearrangement may cooperate, but contribute at different stages, in prostate cancer progression.doi:10.1038/modpathol.2009.69Bo Han...
more focused research on etiology and progression.The recognition that the androgenic milieu of the prostate was important in the development of prostate cancer led to the first wide-scale effort at prostate cancer prevention, the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT, SWOG-9217) with finasteride. ...
It has been proposed that cancer contains a minor population of cells that can self-renew while simultaneously giving rise to tumor cells [1,2]. Such cells may also mediate tumor homeostasis, progression, metastasis, and recurrence. These cells have been referred to as tumorigenic cells, tumor-...
prostate cancer progression. In keeping with this, Henrique et al. (2007) analysed a small panel of gene promoters in prostate biopsy samples and similarly found that hypermethylation of APC is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in prostate cancer. Subsequent studies have similarly found APC...
