Risks of metabolic diseases and androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer in a Chinese population: a prospective multi-centre cohort study
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use in prostate cancer (PCa) has seen a rising trend. We are looking into the relationship between ADT and development of metabolic diseases in Chinese patients.

Open AccessCollapsin response mediator protein-1 (CRMP1) acts as an invasion and metastasis suppressor of prostate cancer via its suppression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and remodeling of actin cytoskeleton organization
The cancer cells can acquire migration and invasion capacities during the metastasis process through the developmental regulatory program epithelial–mesenchymal-transition (EMT), and through its reverse proces...

Orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor-β suppresses in vitro and in vivo growth of prostate cancer cells via p21WAF1/CIP1 induction and as a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer
Recent studies indicate that estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are involved in similar estrogen receptor (ER) regulatory pathways and play roles in energy and lipid metabolism. Here, we analysed the functional...
