BI can be categorised by cause (traumatic vs. iatrogenic) or anatomical location (intraperitoneal vs. extraperitoneal), requiring differing approaches to...
The potential of statin use in castrate resistant prostate cancer treatment
One of the mechanisms by which prostate cancer achieves castrate resistance is through de novo intratumoral production of androgens. Reactivation of androgen receptors results in promotion of cell survival and proliferation pathways despite castrate serum testosterone levels. As androgen synthesis...
Dilemma of second primary tumour
Long-term survival in localised prostate cancer (CaP) can be achieved with treatment by either radical prostatectomy (RP) or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). The development of second primary tumour is poorly understood in such cases. This retrospective study included 84,397 cases...
