[Pharmacologic treatment of mild proliferation of prostatic cancer]
Abstract:
In the paper, pathophysiological and clinical foundations of modern conservative therapy of mild proliferation of prostatic cancer are discussed in a short outline. The problems of treatment with hormonal and non-hormonal preparations are presented against the background of the mechanism of action of pharmacological preparations. The drugs, their dosage, effectiveness and also side effects are discussed. The importance is stressed of the drugs blocking the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the treatment of mild proliferation of prostatic cancer with additional beneficial mechanisms of action for the organism.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors
Among the PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Revatio) stands out as a competitive and selective inhibitor. It operates by elevating cellular levels of cGMP and augmenting signaling through the cGMP-PKG pathway, promoting vasodilation. Upon oral...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
