title: Novel molecular targets for prostate cancer therapy.
abstract: The treatment options available for advanced prostate cancer are increasing. These improved therapies are the result of research involving cellular targets other than DNA proliferation. For example, therapy directed against the intracellular matrix has yielded clinical responses in patients. Other novel targets are being investigated. This review examines both laboratory and clinical advances using cell structure, growth factors, differentiating agents, angiogenesis, metastasis, and the cell cycle in the treatment of prostate cancer.
