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
Well-designed and conducted Phase 11 clinical trials are very important to cancer chemoprevention drug development. Three critical aspects govern the design and conduct of these trials-wellcharacterized agents, suitable cohorts, and reliable biomarkers for measuring efficacy that can serve as surrog
Prostate cancer is a major health problem for the aging male population. Despite hormonal dependence, the inevitable emergence of androgen insensitive tumors, which have a dismal prognosis, highlights the need to develop prevention strategies such as chernoprevention. An acceptable agent must interf
