Prostate Cancer Metabolism: From Biochemistry to Therapeutics shows
the peculiarities of prostate cancer metabolism, emphasizing the
targetable aspects - that have not been considered in conventional
treatment protocols. The book specifically addresses treatment of
the castration-resistant stage of prostate cancer proposing many
repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals to complement, not replace,
standard therapies. The large body of evidence supporting these
concepts makes them deserving of further research and well-designed
clinical trials. It discusses lipid, cholesterol, glutamine, and
glucose metabolisms and their impact on prostate cancer.
Additionally, it explains how current established drugs can be
repurposed to improve treatment outcomes. The concepts set out in
the book, that deal with cancer at the cellular/molecular level,
help identify new avenues of research and treatments to pursue that
do not affect well-being whilst offer consistent benefits. Since
most practicing physicians have not studied basic biochemistry
since medical school, each chapter begins with a brief review of
the topic to facilitate an understanding of the
metabolically-oriented approach to targeting prostate cancer.
Conventional treatments are not discussed here since they are
covered in textbooks and specialized updates that abound in the
medical literature. It is a valuable resource for cancer
researchers, oncologists, clinicians and members of biomedical
field who want to learn more about prostate cancer metabolism and
how to apply recent findings in the field to bedside.
