  5. 3. Invasive and Metastatic Properties of Advanced Prostate Cancer

    Author : Karin Jennbacken; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Prostate cancer; Androgen-independent; Castration-resistant; Metastasis; Invasion; Lymphangiogenesis; Cell adhesion; N-cadherin; VEGF-C; MRI;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is initially androgen-dependent (AD) and therefore androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is generally used to treat advanced prostate cancer. However, the long-term treatment effects are insufficient and over time an androgen-independent (AI) tumor relapses, which is generally highly aggressive and metastatic. READ MORE
