Is Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) responsible for invasion and/or metastasis of tumors? Explain.
The condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia is usually not life threatening, but prostate cancer can be. Because the prostate gland is typically enlarged in both conditions, why is one condition benign and the other potentially life threatening?
Mr. Roger, age 52 years, is undergoing a routine physical examination for his employer. During palpation of the prostate, the physician noted a hard nodule on the gland’s periphery. Lab tests revealed an elevated PSA level. The remainder of the examination did not reveal any other abnormalities.
Discuss the predisposing factors for prostate cancer and identify the high-risk groups. (See Cancer of the Prostate—Etiology.)
