The book covers the various cell signaling pathways responsible for prostate cancer progression, conventional therapies used for prostate cancer treatment, new emerging therapeutics, and challenges in the treatment of cancer patients. It describes the different molecular pathways responsible for prostate cancer progression to improve readers' knowledge about the role of signaling networks, and cellular and molecular aspects of prostate cancer progression. These topics include mechanisms responsible for prostate cancer malignancy with a focus on molecular pathways. It also discusses the current challenges in prostate cancer treatment such as drug resistance and immune evasion and introduces novel therapeutics such as gene therapy and nanotherapeutics for prostate cancer. 

This book is completely novel and unique and covers all aspects of prostate cancer progression and challenges in therapy while presenting solutions. Written by prestigious researchers around the world, this book will be interesting to researchers and practitioners, especially those working in urological cancers.
