New research has shown that immunotherapy can be effective in treating prostate cancer in men who are selected based on the genetic characteristics of their tumors. In a study conducted at Radboud university medical center, it was found that for some men with a particular genetic type ofprostate ...
All tumors could be characterized by a ratio of CD57+ and CD44+ cancer cells.CONCLUSIONSTwo types of prostate cancer cells, CD57+ and CD44+, were identified. The finding that most primary tumors contain a predominantly CD57+ cancer cell population agrees with the argument that cancer c...
By using thegenetic informationfrom tumors in men with prostate cancer, physicians hope to one day create more personalized treatments based on the actual characteristics of the cancer. This information will help optimize quality of life and avoid overtreating subgroups of men who may not need aggre...

Causes of Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer, like other malignancies, arise when genetic alterations in the prostate gland cells cause uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. These tumors (primary) invade the surrounding healthy tissue, destroying it and spreading further. Eventually the cancerous cells ...
The elevated presence of β1–6 branching on cell surface N-glycans observed in the molecular analysis of tumors is correlated with the up-regulation of N-glycan branching enzymes (MGATs) this is positively correlated with the histological grade and tumour node metastasis19–22. An increase ...

Transcriptional heterogeneity among malignant cells of a tumor has been studied in individual cancer types and shown to be organized into cancer cell states; however, it remains unclear to what extent these states span tumor types, constituting general f
In addition to high frequency of LOH in female breast cancer, LOH was observed in tumors of the prostate, ovary, cervix, colon, male breast, and ureter. All detected losses involved the wild-type chromosome. These results suggest that BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor gene and may be involved ...
