Obesogenic Dysregulation of Human Periprostatic Adipose Tissue Promotes the Viability of Prostate Cells and Reduces Their Sensitivity to Docetaxel and Cabazitaxel [PDF]
Medical SciencesBackground: Periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT) has been shown to play a significant role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. This relationship is further exacerbated by obesity, as PPAT-secreted factors increase PCa aggressiveness and ...
