Androgen Receptor Expression and Gleason Scores in Prostate Cancer. Empirical Evidence from Uganda

      Аннотация: The incidence of prostate cancer has been steadily rising for the last 40 years, and it is continuing to rise as life expectancy increases with improved living conditions across the developing countries. Prostate cancer progression and its ability to respond to hormonal therapy is determined by the status of androgen receptor expression.The expression of these receptors are associated with prognostic factors of prostate cancer like Gleason scores. This book provides vital information about the androgen receptor expression and Gleason score, age of the patient, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) values for use by the clinicians to determine the prognosis of this cancer. It is therefore a must read book for; pathologists, urologists, post-graduate students, researchers and other clinicians especially in resource restrained countries.
