Survival Data Presented From Phase II Study of Investigational Drug ZD4054 in Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients
Date:9/25/2007

hibition of this receptor is thought to be related to multiple processes that drive tumour growth and spread, including tumour cell proliferation, tumour cell survival, angiogenesis, and the formation of bone metastases.(2)

About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer primarily affects men over the age of 50.(3) It is the most commonly diagnosed male cancer in many western countries and its incidence is increasing. Worldwide, more than 670,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, accounting for one in nine of all new cancers in men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men after lung cancer.(4) HRPC affects approximately 60,000 new patients in the US alone each year.(5)
