摘要
Prostate cancer progression is often accompanied by alterations of expression in one or more growth factor receptors and/or their ligands. This commentary examines the hypothesis that the disruption of the normal growth factor network itself is a critical event in prostate cancer progression. If such transition points are proven, there are significant ramifications.
