## Abstract Advanced prostate cancer is frequently accompanied by the development of metastasis to bone. In the past, prostate cancer bone metastases were characterized as being osteoblastic (i.e., increasing bone density) based on radiographs. However, emerging evidence suggests that development o
## Abstract Prostate cancer (CaP) is unique among all cancers in that when it metastasizes to bone, it typically forms osteoblastic lesions (characterized by increased bone production). CaP cells produce many factors, including Wnts that are implicated in tumorβinduced osteoblastic activity. In thi
## Background: The so-called bone hunger syndrome is a metabolic derangement that sometimes complicates the natural history of prostate cancer patients with osteoblastic bone metastases. an excessive bone formation leads to calcium entrapment in bone and the subsequent increase of parathyroid hormo
Studies of breast cancer suggest that parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is important in the development of bone metastases. To determine whether PTHrP expression is important in prostate cancer metastasis, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to assess the expression of
