## Abstract The insulinβlike growth factor type I receptor (IGFβIR) has been suggested to play an important role in prostate cancer progression and possibly in the progression to androgenβindependent (AI) disease. The term AI may not be entirely correct, in that recent data suggest that expression
## Abstract Despite earlier detection and recent advances in surgery and radiation, prostate cancer is second only to lung cancer in male cancer deaths in the United States. Hormone therapy in the form of medical or surgical castration remains the mainstay of systemic treatment in prostate cancer.
p53 protein expression of 30 hormone-refractory locally recurrent prostate cancers was compared with their matched untreated primary tumour specimens. In addition, androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and p53 protein immunostaining were compared. p53 positivity increased during hormonal therapy
