Sammanfattning : Surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer may be hampered by the spread of cancer through the prostate capsule and in the surgical margins. The prostate is dependent on androgen hormones for its growth and function. LÄS MER
2. Study of the mechanisms behind the additive effect of neoadjuvant castration on radiotherapy for prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Castration improves responses to radiotherapy (RT) in prostate cancer with unknown mechanism. An understanding of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in prostate cancer cells, while reducing their access to androgens and then exposing them to ionizing radiation (IR), would give us an opportunity to optimize the treatment and may also inspire novel therapeutic approaches.
