Prostate Cancer (Developments in Oncology Series): New Horizons in Research and Treatment


According to Cher (Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Detroit, MI) and his Wayne State U. School of Medicine colleagues, the increasing pace of research and declining US mortality from prostate cancer offer hope for patients despite the large number of men still diagnosed with this cancer worldwide. These 26 reviews treat the disease's pathology, progress in understanding its genetics and progression, novel treatments based on these advances, the role of diet, and the future of diagnostic imaging. Color figures include imaged tumor tissues and a schematic of the signaling pathways altered in prostrate cancer.
