Investigating the role of the epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in prostate cancer

(2017) Investigating the role of the epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in prostate cancer. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis was a step forward in better understanding the involvement of cancer cell plasticity in the progression of prostate cancer to aggressive disease. These studies described for the first time the transcriptional landscape of epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in prostate cancer which led to the discovery of a molecular signature capable of identifying high-risk patients. In addition, this project revealed new-found molecular targets that may regulate cancer cell plasticity, thus making them attractive therapeutic options for patients with prostate cancer.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
