Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHypermethylation and Hypomethylation of DNA: Implication for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Prostate CancerLubos Danisovic, Stanislav ZiaranProstate cancer belongs to the most common cancers and it is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. A genetic predisposition with epigenetic changes in DNA contributes to the development of the disease. DNA hypermethylation and hypomethylation belong to the most studied epigenetic changes in prostate cancer development. Both forms may lead to chromosomal instability and transcriptional gene … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2015 · 6,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNovel Biomarkers in Determining Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and PrognosisZuzana Varchulova Novakova, Katarina Bevizova, Iveta GasparovaThe clinical behavior and molecular pathology of prostate cancer is highly variable. Current "traditional" prognostic markers cannot reliably distinguish the potentially life-threatening cancer from indolent cancer. Identification of additional new predictors of cancer aggressiveness is therefore urgently required. This communication is aimed at a brief review of new biomarkers in prostate cancer diagnostics and prognostics. Pubmed systematic search was performed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Differences in Quality of Life in Prostate Cancer Project: Methods and Design of a Multidisciplinary Population-Based Follow-up StudyChristine Brennan, Evrim Oral, Elizabeth Fontham et al.Problem statement: Numerous studies have examined the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Prostate Cancer (PCa) survivors but few have examined potential differences between races. The causes for alterations in HRQoL in PCa survivors have not been thoroughly explored either, limiting insight regarding potential means to improve their quality of life. Using a large sample of approximately equal numbers … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2012 · 7,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleLack of Association of Glutathione S-transferase Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Prostate Cancer SubjectsB. Sahar Ansari, R. Vasudevan, M. Mirinargesi et al.Problem statement: Glutathione S-transferase is super family genes that encode enzymes which involve in the detoxification of the cell and protects DNA from damage. Conflicting results was found in several studies in association with GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer. In this study, we determined the association between the GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphism and prostate cancer in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleProstate cancer incidence in Golestan province, Iran (2004)Abdoljalal Marjani, Mohammad Javad KabirProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men and therefore represents a major problem in public health.The aim of this study was to find and evaluate province-specific estimate of incidence in males by age groups for prostate cancer in Golestan province, Iran. The data used in this study were collected in a cancer registry program that was conducted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Novel SIFT-SVM Approach for Prostate Cancer DetectionSwetha Parvatha Reddy Chandrasekhara, Mohan Govindsa Kabadi, SrivinayProstate cancer is a major cause of concern in male population as it is said to affect 1 in every 7 men in their lifetime. The number of cases being registered for prostate cancer and its mortality rates are increasing yearly at an alarming rate. Due to the high resolution and multi-dimensionality of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, proper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2020 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnti-Carcinoma, Anti-Obesity, Antidiabetic and Immune Defence Effects of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf Extract and Leaf Powder, in Two Human Cancer PatientsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Two cancer patients were treated with Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) leaf extract and leaf powder. The leaf extract of V amygdalina was administered orally for 9 months to the first patient in response to his reception of a medical diagnosis of having traces of prostate cancer. Approach: This patient was also over weight by 40 kg. The V. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 5 Aug 2011 · 8,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInternalizing Versus Non-internalizing Receptors for Targeting L-Methioninase to Cancer CellsXiao-Ping Zang, Naveen R. Palwai, J. T. Pento, Roger G. HarrisonWe reported previously that L-methioninase targeted to the urokinase receptor of MCF-7 breast cancer cells is significantly more effective in inhibiting cell proliferation and migration than free L-methioninase both in vitro and in vivo. L-methioninase was targeted by linking at its amino terminus to an amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of urokinase. The ATF was selected for targeting because is has previously … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsHistopathological Characterization and Expression of Vitamin D Receptor in the Prostate of Healthy Dogs and Dogs with Prostatic CarcinomaAkiko Ikeda, Masanori Kobayashi, Tatsuya Hori et al.Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) expression is implicated in human Prostatic Carcinoma (PC), but its role in canine PC is unclear. To investigate how VDR expression is affected by age and castration in healthy dogs and how it changes with PC, we evaluated prostates from 8-month-old (n = 5) or 6-year-old (n = 8) intact males, 1-8-year-old healthy castrated males (n … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2023 · 5,291 accessesView PDFCite
