29 Nov 2008
BACKGROUND: Cell adhesion plays an important role in proliferation, metastasis, and tumor growth and may represent a potential vulnerability in treatment of prostate cancer patients. Bicalutamide (Casodex) has been used as an anti-androgen agent ... Read more...
29 Nov 2008
BACKGROUND: Growth of most ablation-resistant prostate cancers (CaPs) is dependent on androgen receptor (AR) activity in chromatin, but cancer cells in these tumors have acquired altered AR activation. It is unclear how the aberrantly activated AR ... Read more...
29 Nov 2008
Despite our growing insight into carcinogenesis, treatment of tumors, especially nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains limited and it is urgent to develop strategies that target tumor cells and their genetic features. Drug discovery efforts ... Read more...
