Mitochondrial DNA as a sensitive surrogate to oxidative stress in prostate cancer cells and circulating lymphocytes

Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays a causative role in prostate cancer initiation and progression. Furthermore, enhanced levels of systemic oxidative stress detected in lymphocytes are also associated with prostate cancer risk. Due to mtDNA's high sensitivity to oxidative...
