摘要: The development of resistance to anti-cancer therapies is a major hurdle preventing long-lasting clinical responses conventional or investigational in hormone refractory prostate cancer. Herein, we analyze the molecular evidence which show that bone metastasis microenvironment survival factors, mainly paracrine, growth (GH)-independent, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)-mediated production insulin-like factor 1 (IGF-1) and endocrine, GH-dependent IGF-1 (mainly liver-derived IGF-1), produce an epigenetic form cancer cells pro-apoptotic therapies. In addition, review conceptual framework novel manipulation for metastatic (combination dexamethasone somatostatin analog (SM-A)), yielded durable objective improvement pain performance status stage D3 patients.
