Exercise and nutrition induced weight loss for prostate cancer patients
… examining prostate cancer patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and how exercise and nutrition interventions can be used to induce fat loss, while preserving or improving lean mass. Study 1 (Chapter 4) is an examination of the efficacy of a weight loss program in altering body …

Androgen Receptor and Prostate Cancer Cell Heterogeneity
<p>Androgen receptor (AR) plays an important role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and has been the main therapeutic target in advanced PCa. AR expression is heterogeneous in both primary PCa and castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, the functional significance of AR …

CaV1.3 Ion channel expression and hormone therapy in prostate cancer
… localised PCa is commonly treated with radiotherapy or surgery where recurrent tumours are treated with hormone therapy, such as androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and/or androgen receptor (AR) antagonists, e.g. Enzalutamide (ENZ). Castrate-resistant disease, where tumours become resistant to …

A randomised controlled trial of a diet and physical activity intervention in prostate cancer patients and related studies.
The utilisation of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer patients is associated with a number of adverse side effects including: changes in body composition; an increase in fat mass and a decrease in muscle mass, increased fatigue and a reduced Quality of Life (QoL). Existing …

The role of BET proteins in castration-resistant prostate cancer dissemination
… primary or acquired resistance to conventional androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and accumulated resistance mechanisms to evade androgen receptor (AR) suppression. Whereas the canonical androgen/AR signaling axis maintains prostate cell growth, differentiation and survival, in prostate cancer …

Evaluating the role of a 99mTc-HYNIC-PSMA SPECT scan following a negative bone scan in men with prostate cancer: a single-centre, retrospective cohort study
… both scans negative included external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (n = 47), and radical prostatectomy with or without lymph node (LN) dissection (n = 4). A limiting factor was that not every patient underwent conventional cross-sectional imaging of the pelvis …

Nutritional factors and lifestyle in prostate cancer patients
… specifically for those who are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). To achieve these aims this thesis has documented the findings of the following studies investigating nutritional and life-style behaviours in prostate cancer patients. <br/>1) Using the cross-sectional …

DOES STRENGTH TRAINING IMPROVE MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH AND BODY COMPOSITION IN BLACK MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER ON ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY?
… previous studies. PCa is commonly treated using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, ADT induces numerous adverse side effects, including loss of muscle mass, strength, power, and physical function with concomitant increases in fat mass, fatigue, and bone fractures. Because strength …

Novel Mechanisms of Β-Adrenergic Signaling In Prostate Cancer Progression
… er/detailedguide/prostate-cancer-key-statistics). Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for early stage prostate cancer. But most patients relapse with aggressive variants of prostate cancer, with survival time between 1-3 years. In order to develop cure for such aggressive …

Phage Display Library Screening For Psa-/Lo Prostate Cancer Cell-Binding Peptides
… cells responsible for driving PCa and mediating therapy resistance. My master thesis research employs a phage display library screening technology aiming to identify peptides that preferentially home in to undifferentiated PCa cells, which our lab has previously demonstrated to be intrinsically …

Targeting the Tumor Stroma Using a Monoclonal Antibody Platform Technology
… American men. Men who fail standard-of-care androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and progress to metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are left with few therapeutic options. Current second line therapies only provide a small survival benefit and there is a critical unmet need …

Self-reported Exercise and Risk of Osteoporosis in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy
… stimulated to grow in response to testosterone. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) leads to chemical castration and suppression of prostate cancer cell production. Testosterone levels less then 300ng/ml decreases bone mineral density and could result in osteoporosis. Studies have shown that …

Exercise as medicine : reversing treatment toxicities in prostate cancer patients
… cancer after skin cancer in Australian males, is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, ADT is associated with an array of adverse effects including reduced bone and lean mass, loss of muscle strength, negative change in lipid profile, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as …

Investigation of the role of Col4a1 and Itga11 in enzalutamide resistance of prostate cancer cells
… cancer in males in the Western World. Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is initially effective in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa), but eventually, cancer cells develop resistance to therapy and progress into Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC). CRPC is very likely …

Role of the extracellular matrix-integrin interaction in enzalutamide resistance of bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
… of all metastasis incidence. Its resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Enzalutamide (Enz) is a second-generation androgen-receptor (AR) antagonist, developed to treat bone mCRPC by blocking the androgen signalling pathway. However, the emergence of resistance to Enz significantly …

The analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging data: treatment effects, sampling rates and repeatability
… that the effects of platinum-based chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) respectively can be correlated with changes in standard DCE-MRI parameters (Ktrans, ve and vp). The results show that ADT is reflected by decreasing tumour perfusion and vascularity (Ktrans and vp) …

Regulation of Systemic and Cellular Metabolism In Prostate Cancer By Camkk2 and Elucidation of Atgl’S Role In Disease Progression
<p>The androgen receptor (AR) is the major driver of prostate cancer; hence, men with progressing disease are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, the majority of patients will relapse within 2-3 years due to multiple AR reactivation mechanisms. Thus, AR and the processes …

Radiobiological mechanisms and novel imaging biomarkers in metastatic prostate cancer treated with radium-223
… cancer patients who initially respond to Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), will eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Bone metastases are an extremely common disease state, present in 90% of patients with metastatic CRPC (mCRPC). The use of alpha …
