Pre-clinical Orthotopic Murine Model of Human Prostate Cancer
Published on: August 29, 2016
Abstract:
The presentations for the "Advanced Disease" section of the 13th International Prostate Cancer Update provided an overview of current and future directions in the management of men with recurrent prostate cancer after local therapy and those with metastatic disease. Definitions of biochemical failure after local therapy were reviewed. Treatment strategies that were discussed included salvage radiation, early/intermittent hormonal therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, the use of bisphosphonates, and gene therapy. Several possible molecular targets for prostate cancer treatment need further validation before testing in clinical trials, and examples of these were presented. Each presentation focused on the need to accrue men to clinical trials to enable progress at a faster pace.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
