Description
Summary:Prostate is the largest accessory gland of male genitaltract and the beginning part of male urethra. Prostatecancer is the most common internal malignancy inmales. Prostate cancer is ranked as second in death fromto cancer. A malignant disease is known as uncontrolledproliferation of cells. Beside excessive proliferation, decreasedapoptosis was also observed contribute to thedevelopment of malignancy. Apoptosis (programmedcell death) plays an important role in many diseases andfree radical damage, triggers by cytokines and inflammatoryinjury. This review has been prepared to show theinteresting link between apoptosis and cancer and toprovide collective source to who want to do research onthis subject. J Clin Exp Invest 2011; 2(1): 124-131
