Advanced carcinoma of the prostate- does the pre-treatment Leydig cell function determine the response to orchidectomy?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a study of twenty patients there was no support for the hypothesis that the response to orchidectomy of patients with advanced prostatic cancer depends on pre-operative Leydig cell function. The only significant prognostic factor was the histological grade of the primary tumour.

The role of Rad51 protein in radioresistance of spheroid model of DU145 prostate carcinoma cell line
Background: Rad51 is a protein with critical role in double strand break repair. Down-regulation of this protein has a significant effect in radiosensitivity of some cell lines like prostate carcinoma. Compared to monolayer cell culture model, the spheroids are more resistant to radiation. The aim of the current study was to determine the Rad51 protein level in DU145 spheroids, and monol...
متن کاملRadiosensitizing effects of Sestrin2 in PC3 prostate cancer cells
Objective(s): The stress-responsive genes of Sestrin family are recognized as new tumor suppressor genes in breast carcinoma, however, the function of Sestrin family in human prostate cancer is not clear. Ionizing radiation (IR) is known to induce Sestrin gene expression in breast cancer cells. However, the response of Sestrin to IR has not been reported in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Materials ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of lycopene plus orchidectomy with orchidectomy alone in the management of advanced prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients with histologically confirmed metastatic prostatic cancer (M1b or D2) and a performance status of 0-2 (World Health Organization) were entered into the trial between March 2000 and June 2002. The trial comprised two tre...

Prostatic carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed tumor among men over 40 which results in over 30,000 deaths each year in the United States. Previous studies indicated that tumor cell lines produce and release several growth regulatory factors into their condition media and so far a number of human tumor cell-derived suppressor factors have been isolated that affect normal immune functions. I...
