## Abstract The growth, development, and differentiation of the prostate gland is largely dependent on the action of androgens and peptide growth factors that act differentially at the level of the mesenchymal and epithelial compartments. It is our premise that to understand the emergence of metast

Prostate cancer is considered to be one of the most hormone-dependent human malignancies. As a key mediator of hormonal response, the androgen receptor (AR) is believed to have an important role in the progression of prostate cancer. Mutations in the coding region of the AR gene have been found in b
There is an intriguing link between differentiation of neuroendocrine cells and tumor progression in prostate cancer. Neuroendocrine differentiation appears to be associated with the androgen-independent state, for which there is currently no successful therapy. However, the role of the neuroendocri
