DESCRIPTION
A drug-repositionning approach integrating obesity factor
Prostate cancer (Pca): local and metastasis dissemination at stake
85% of patients with localized Pca have an overall survival > 10 years
But risk of extraprostatic disease remains high (30-60%) and bone metastasis is the most common form (70-90% of cases)
Prognosis of metastasized Pca is low (survival < 2 years)
Preventing/slowing down the spread of Pca outside the capsule and especially to the bone is a major goal of treatment
APPLICATIONS
Prostate cancer treatment, especially in a context of obesity or metabolic disease
