Role for Stromal Heterogeneity in Prostate Tumorigenesis
28 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer develops through a stochastic mechanism whereby precancerous lesions on occasion progress to multifocal adenocarcinoma. Analysis of human benign and cancer prostate tissues revealed heterogeneous loss of TGF-β signaling in the cancer-associated stromal fibroblastic cell compartment.
