Metformin and prostate cancer stem cells: a novel therapeutic target.

Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases - 1 Dec 2015

Mayer M J, Klotz L H, Venkateswaran V

Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world. Localized disease can be effectively treated with radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy. However, advanced prostate cancer is more difficult to treat and if metastatic, is incurable. There is a need for more effective therapy for advanced prostate cancer. One potential target is the cancer stem cell (CSC). CSCs have been described...
