Wine Polyphenols Exert Antineoplasic Effect on Androgen Resistant PC-3 Cell Line Through the Inhibition of the Transcriptional Activity of COX-2 Promoter Mediated by NF-kβ
CONCLUSIONS: Polyphenols inhibit transcriptional activity of COX-2 promoter mediated by NF-kβ. This effect could explain, at least in part, the induction of apoptosis in vitro by these substances in castration resistant PCa.

Denosumab osteonecrosis of the mandible: A new entity?A case report
Abstract: In the treatment of osteoporosis, M. Kahler and bone metastases from prostate and breast cancer bisphosphonates play a major role. Not all patients respond well to bisphosphonate treatment. Since a few years adverse effects of these drugs have been reported. A new drug, denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to RANKL, has recently been developed. This case reports a 74-year-old male patient with a medical history of diabetes mellitus, angina pectoris, coronary bypasses, hypertension, and prostate cancer with multiple metastases to lymph nodes, bone and lungs. The prostate cancer was treated according to the...
