## Abstract Androgens are critical regulators of prostate differentiation and function, as well as prostate cancer growth and survival. Therefore, androgen ablation is the preferred systemic treatment for disseminated prostate cancer. Androgen action is exerted in target tissues via binding the and

## Abstract The importance of androgens and androgen receptors (AR) in primary prostate cancer is well established. Metastatic disease is usually treated with some form of androgen ablation, which is effective for a limited amount of time. The role of AR in prostate cancers that recur despite andro
## Abstract Gene fusions between prostateβspecific, androgen responsive __TMPRSS2__ gene and oncogenic ETS factors, such as __ERG__, occur in up to 50% of all prostate cancers. We recently defined a gene signature that was characteristic to prostate cancers with __ERG__ activation. This suggested e
## Abstract Insulinβlike growth factor binding proteinβ3 (IGFBPβ3), an antiproliferative and proapoptotic protein, has been shown to be upregulated by growth inhibitory concentrations of androgens in LNCaP human prostate cancer (PCa) cells, but the mechanism of regulation and the role of IGFBPβ3 in
