Prostate Cancer Metabolism: From Biochemistry to Therapeutics

Prostate Cancer Metabolism: From Biochemistry to Therapeutics highlights the unique metabolic characteristics of prostate cancer and proposes repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. The book discusses lipid, cholesterol, glutamine, and glucose metabolisms and how current established drugs can be repurposed to improve treatment outcomes. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians, and members of the biomedical field.

Prostate Cancer Metabolism: From Biochemistry to Therapeutics delves into the intricate details of prostate cancer metabolism, highlighting the overlooked aspects that have been overlooked in conventional treatment protocols. The book specifically focuses on treating the castration-resistant stage of prostate cancer by proposing numerous repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals to complement, rather than replace, standard therapies. The substantial body of evidence supporting these concepts warrants further exploration and well-designed clinical trials. It explores lipid, cholesterol, glutamine, and glucose metabolisms and their profound impact on prostate cancer. Additionally, it elucidates how existing established drugs can be repurposed to enhance treatment outcomes. The concepts presented in the book, which delve into cancer at the cellular/molecular level, provide valuable insights into new research and treatment avenues that prioritize well-being while delivering consistent benefits. As 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 as they are extensively covered in textbooks and specialized updates found in the medical literature. This book serves as a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians, and members of the biomedical field who seek to expand their knowledge about prostate cancer metabolism and its practical applications in the clinical setting.
