Abstract

It is generally accepted that the carcinogenic process in mammalian cell systems involves multiple steps that result in distinct phenotypic alterations associated with immortalization, progression, and conversion to malignancy. Prostate cancer, as the most common cancer in men, presents a particular challenge: not all histologic cancer progresses to clinical malignancies. The steps necessary for prostate carcinogenesis need to be defined and model systems expanded. We report the neoplastic transformation of an immortalized human prostate epithelial cell line (267Bl) by ionizing radiation.
