Prostat Karsinomunun Moleküler Yolakları

Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer with rapidly growing incidence rates in the world. The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer are widely variable in different populations. The prostate cancer includes multiple genetic modifications such as deletion in specific genome sequences of tumor-suppressor genes and alterations in specific chromosomal sites associated with oncogene activation. It is difficult to determine whether the hereditary changes leading to prostate cancer are associated with one or more specific genetic features. Prostate carcinogenesis is complex and has not been fully explained. If we can better understand prostate carcinogenesis, we can also find targeted therapy. Therefore, we talked about the major genetic and epigenetic changes involved in prostate carcinoma.
