activity and ability to govern drug resistance and tumorigenicity. Furthermore, inferred drug combinations will be analyzed using RNA sequencing of treated tumors for their synergistic action and potential benefits for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Approach…

to many are synonymous with words around wartime rhetoric. However, in my mind they are meant to evoke positivity at an unimaginably difficult time in a cancer survivors life especially when the diagnosis is that of stage four, advanced metastatic prostate cancer. I suppose it could actually be misconstrued as waging war on oneself, but for me this was the mindset approach needed. So I make no excuse for using them in my description and sentencing for, it is this approach that has taken me…

[25,26]. Pectin, especially modified pectins have been found to possess anticancer activity. The most well-known pectin in cancer therapy is modified citrus pectin, which is used in prostate cancer therapy with laudable success, it was found to increase the doubling time of prostate specific antigen in men with prostate cancer [27]. The use of modified pectins in cancer research has mainly focused on acid, enzymatic and heat modified pectins. However, there exist sonication, a physical method of…

1. The three treatment options function synergistically to benefit the patient with prostate cancer. The ionizing radiation causes single and double stranded breaks to the neoplastic cells DNA, this halts replication and cell function until it can be repaired. Etoposide is a podophyllotoxin that inhibits topoisomerase II, the enzyme responsible for unwinding the DNA. If the DNA cannot unwind, the cell will be unable to replicate, transcribe mRNA, or repair itself. If the cell is unable to repair…

when PSA levels are at least half of what current imaging techniques can detect. Researchers at Mayo Clinic Florida campus are first to link the enzyme PRSS3 to prostate cancer and have also developed a compound that inhibits the ability of this molecule to promote the metastatic spread of the cancer. Oncologic Virotherapy for Prostate…

Often times while watching television or listening to the radio, a company will advertisement a product. Whether the product be an engaging toy, an effective cleaning chemical, or a new wonder drug, at the very end of the advertisement there is most always a disclaimer. “This toy is not safe for children under three years old” and “do not use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding” are among the more popular sayings. The reason for the latter disclaimer is likely due to the advertised…

transurethral resection of prostate. Transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgery used to treat urinary problem due to enlarged prostate. This procedure is often done to relieve symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate which is often related to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is benign (noncancerous), it is often related to aging. However, it can lead to urinary problem if not treated. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra just beneath the bladder. When prostate gland enlarges,…

It is synthesizes from 5-alpha reductase (5AR). For instance, 5AR is transformed by the body into DHT on reaching the prostate, hair follicles adrenal glands and testes. The production of testosterone and hair follicles are closely liked because dermal papilla, a vital part of the base of every hair follicle has a lot of androgen receptors. Healthy hair follicles are able…

High-energy x-rays, gamma rays and charged particles are used to damage the DNA of cancer cells in an attempt to destroy the tumor and stop the cancer cells from growing out of control. Radiation can damage the DNA directly or indirectly as its application creates free radicals within the cells. Interactions involving cell killing in the realm of photon radiation therapy are mostly due to indirect damage. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons, leading them to be unstable and react…
