## Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) epithelial cells require a number of factors to facilitate their establishment and growth at a distant site of metastasis. Their ability to adapt to their microenvironment, proliferate and recruit an underlying stroma is integral to the survival and growth of the m

## BACKGROUND. Unlike most other malignancies, prostate cancer metastasizes preferentially to the skeleton and elicits osteoblastic reactions. METHODS. We present a hypothesis, based upon results obtained from our laboratory and others, on the nature of progression of prostate cancer cells and the
BACKGROUND. We investigated whether a new marker of bone turnover, pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), could be useful in the assessment of bone metastasis and in monitoring of the response to treatment in patients with prostate cancer with bone metastasi
## Background: Although clinical investigations of bone turnover markers in prostate cancer patients have been conducted, the relationships of pretreatment levels of the markers to the prognosis of patients with bone metastasis has not been fully examined. ## Methods: The serum levels of carboxy-
