## Abstract The CapG protein, a Gelsolinβrelated actinβbinding protein, is expressed at higher levels in breast cancer, especially in metastasizing breast cancer, than in normal breast epithelium. Furthermore, it is known that an increased expression of the CapG protein triggers an increase in cell
## Abstract Prostate cancer commonly affects men in the Western world. A major factor of the lifeβthreatening course of this disease is the high rate of metastasis, predominantly to bones. Circulating tumor cells encounter platelets and may activate them, resulting in a production of microparticles
## Abstract Carcinoma cells in PIN are situated above a layer of basal epithelial cells, which shield the tumor cells from stimulation by factors from the prostate stroma. During progression to invasive carcinoma, the basal cell layer becomes disrupted and tumor cells adhere to the basement membran
## Abstract Histone deacetylase inhibitors, such as phenylbutyrate, are currently undergoing clinical trials as potential anticancer agents. Phenylbutyrate can induce cell differentiation and apoptosis in a number of cancer cell types and can act in synergy with ionizing radiation and chemotherapy
## Abstract The cancer stem cell (CSC) model states that tumors contain a reservoir of selfβrenewing cells that maintain the heterogeneous cell population of the tumor. These cells appear to be resistant to therapy and can therefore survive to repopulate the tumor during progression to therapy resi
