Funded Activity Summary

Inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) is exceedingly common. As inflammation has been linked to the development of cancer the prevalence of prostatitis is a significant health issue. Estrogens may cause inflammation, although how this occurs remains unknown. Mast cells may be involved and this study will examine how these cells and estrogen promote prostatitis and prostate cancer. This work will provide vital information to develop better treatments of prostatitis and prostate cancer.
