proto-oncogenes. They are mutations that occur in the main cells of the body that ultimately lead to the formation of cancer. A single gene mutation is all that is necessary to drive the cancer cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. As this occurs the body cells go into apoptosis; if the patient does not take the necessary steps for immediate treatment he/she will most likely die since cancer cells rapidly begin to encompass the whole body. Proto-oncogenes are a group of genes that regulate the function

Prostate Cancer 1. Natural history of prostate cancer Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men at an estimated 24% of all new cancer cases. Even though the 5-year survival rate of localized disease is close to 100%‚ the 5-year survival rate of metastatic disease is still very low at 30%. In advanced prostate cancer‚ metastasis occurs in distant organs such as the brain‚ liver‚ lungs‚ lymph nodes‚ and bone. Particularly‚ 90% of patients with advanced prostate cancer present metastasis
