摘要
Life expectancy for patients suffering from prostate cancer is inversely correlated with the degree of extraprostatic metastasis. In order to find pharmacological tools to treat this aggressive growth it is important to define targets whose expression not only correlates with the malignancy of the cancerous cells, but that are also amenable to pharmacological intervention. In this review, we would like to focus on the potential role of a distinct class of ion channels that may be involved in this process. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
