BACKGROUND. An increase in the proportion of prostate carcinomas diagnosed at early, potentially curable stages has led to several changes in treatment of patients with this disease. Greater use of radical prostatectomy and external beam radiation has been documented, and recent data suggest that th
## Abstract ## Background We proposed to exploit hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐1α overexpression in prostate tumours and use this transcriptional machinery to control the expression of the suicide gene cytosine deaminase (CD) through binding of HIF‐1α to arrangements of hypoxia response elements.
