    GlossaryCancer Progression

    process where cancer cells grow, spread, and become more aggressive

    Cancer progression, also known as tumor progression or neoplasm progression, refers to the process by which cancer cells grow, spread, and become more aggressive over time. This involves a series of genetic and cellular changes that enable the tumor to invade surrounding tissues, evade the immune system, and potentially metastasize to distant organs. Understanding cancer progression is crucial for developing effective treatments and improving patient outcomes.

      community A Technical Question About Pyrilutamide

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 1 year ago
      Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgen receptor antagonist.
