(WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2005-11-01)BACKGROUND. GnRH analogs have antiproliferative and/or apoptotic effects on prostate cancer cells. Also, neurotrophin receptors TrkA and p75 have been reported in normal prostate suggesting a role in the gland growth ...
-
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2006-05)Contradictory data have been reported regarding the effect of GnRH agonists and antagonists on cell growth and survival, using prostate cancer-derived cell lines expressing either endogenous or exogenous GnRH receptors. ...

Evaluation of MENT on primary cell cultures from benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma (Blackwell, 2008)7-alpha-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone (MENT) is a synthetic androgen more potent than testosterone (T) and cannot be reduced at 5-alpha position. No important effects of MENT on prostate growth have been reported. However, little ...

Functional characteristics of cancer stem cells and their role in drug resistance of prostate cancer (Spandidos, 2014)Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have the ability to self-renew and differentiate to give rise to heterogeneous phenotype of the tumor cells. It is believed that these cells are involved in metastasis, recurrence and therapy ...

(ELSEVIER, 2003-11)Objectives. To explore the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement as a noninvasive method to image the extent of ablation after minimally invasive treatment. Minimally invasive methods for ...
-
(2004)Background: The role of susceptibility low penetrance genes and environmental factors in the etiology of prostate cancer (PCa) is unclear, but may involve in some cases multiple alleles at multiple loci. Aim: To evaluate ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2006-12)Objectives. Temperature mapping of the prostate during transurethral microwave thermotherapy and imaging of the resultant zones of tissue necrosis have been previously performed using several commercial systems. This study ...
-
(BLACKWELL, 2006-05)Aim: To assess the role of several genetic factors in combination with an environmental factor as modulators of prostate cancer risk. We focus on allele variants of low-penetrance genes associated with cell control, the ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2005-01)Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male cancers, but the burden of this disease shows remarkable worldwide variation. The role of susceptibility low penetrance genes and environmental factors in ...

(2005)We investigate the proliferative activity, prostatic specific antigen (PSA) secretion, morphology and androgen response of human prostate tumour epithelial cells co-cultured with stromal cells in a bicameral system. ...
