Journal Article
Hirst, A. M., Frame, F. M., Maitland, N. J., & O’Connell, D. (2014). Low temperature plasma: a novel focal therapy for localized prostate cancer?. Biomed research international, 2014, Article 878319. https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/878319

Despite considerable advances in recent years for the focal treatment of localized prostate cancer, high recurrence rates and detrimental side effects are still a cause for concern. In this review, we compare current focal therapies to a potentially... Read More about Low temperature plasma: a novel focal therapy for localized prostate cancer?.

Prostate cancer (CaP) is mostly composed of luminal-like differentiated cells, but contains a small subpopulation of basal cells (including stem-like cells), which can proliferate and differentiate into luminal-like cells. In cancers, CpG island hype... Read More about DNA hypermethylation in prostate cancer is a consequence of aberrant epithelial differentiation and hyperproliferation.
