## BACKGROUND. A variety of innovative approaches to the prevention of prostate cancer are now available, including selenium, alpha tocopherol, dietary interventions, and vitamin D. Perhaps the most promising opportunity is based upon considerable evidence that cumulative androgen exposure of the

The "natural history" of prostate cancer may bedevil the development of guidelines for chemoprevention interventions. Can strategies be designed to direct agents to those lesions which have the potential to develop localized extension that may become symptomatic or metastatic disease? Of necessity o
The term "cancer chemoprevention" refers to the prevention of cancer by intervening with drugs prior to the malignant ( k . , invasive) stage of carcinogenesis. The development of chemopreventive drugs is the major objective of the Chemoprevention Branch at the National Cancer Institute. The testin
## Abstract Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most invasive malignancy and second leading cause of cancer deaths in American males. One approach to reduce PCA incidence, growth and metastasis is prevention and intervention targeted towards mitogenic and survival signaling and cellβcycle regulation. This
An understanding of the natural history of changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) may be valuable as a surrogate view of prostate dynamics, as a method to differentiate between benign and malignant growth, and as a means to assess the use of PSA as a tool for monitoring activity of chemopreventi
## Abstract Prostate cancer (PC) chemoprevention has generated considerable interest in the last decade and selenium and combinations of selenium have been recognized as one of the most efficacious chemopreventive agents against PC. This review focuses on a discussion of the knowledge hitherto gain
