前立腺癌
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths. Prostate cancer predominantly occurs in the peripheral zone of the human prostate, with fewer than 10% of cases found in the central zone. The disease develops as a result of the temporal and spatial loss of the basal epithelial compartment as well as increased proliferation and dedifferentiation of the luminal (secretory) epithelial cells. Prostate cancer is typically found in men of ages older than 60 and its incidence increases with increasing age.
