Link between prostatic inflammation and the development of cancer
Prostate cancer is the most frequent neoplasm in men; to try to define the possible causes and processes that lead healthy prostate tissue to become cancerous, numerous studies have been carried out and one of the most promising fields of research in this sense is the examination of chronic inflammation of the prostate. In fact, this process determines a series of chemical, biochemical and cellular events within the prostate gland and could therefore represent a potential risk factor for tumor development or progression.
A study, Pros-IT2, was recently published on this tumor form in the international journal Cancers, the evolution of the longitudinal study “PROState cancer monitoring in ITaly project from the National Research Council (Pros-IT Cnr)†, promoted by the Neuroscience Institute of the National Research Council … (Continued) read the 2nd page
