Abstract
The progression of prostate cancer can be described in terms of growth rate, hormone responsiveness, histology and metastatic ability. Some of these parameters can be interdependent. Clearly, metastatic ability of tumor cells is clinically most significant. It is this process in which primary tumor cells spread through the body and grow out at secondary sites that leads to much of lethality due to cancer. For prostate cancer the clinical consequences of established metastatic disease are profound, since no curative therapy is available (1). Systemic palliative methods, based on androgen ablation, are usually succesful, but of limited duration. The outgrowth of androgen insensitive cells is inevitable, and will eventually result in the patients death (2).
