Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Mechanisms and Insights

About this book

Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the most diagnosed cancers in men worldwide as well as one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths. Despite the advances intreatment, the disease remains associated withpoorsurvival andresistanceto cytotoxic and targeted therapies.Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer: Mechanisms and Insights highlights the main mechanisms that are responsible for therapy resistance in PCa allowing researchers and clinicians to have a synopsis of current options and new therapies that can be proposed to overcome this resistance. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for chemotherapy resistance helps researchers all over the world to delve deeper into the pathways behind this resistance and potentially discover new therapeutic targets for PCa.- Tackles the topic of resistance from a broader perspective, including, but not limited to, the role of the extracellular matrix and cancer stem cells in therapy resistance- Creates understanding on how to develop novel therapies that specifically target CSCs to eliminate the regenerating capacity of the tumor and overcome therapy resistance- Helps in identifying novel molecular biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets pertaining to the tumor microenvironment to overcome therapy resistance- Provides a general view of the main pathways involved in PCa progression that will aid in understanding the mechanisms responsible for chemotherapy resistance
