Does vasoactive intestinal peptide ( VIP ) stimulate rat prostatic epithelial cell proliferation?
Here, we demonstrate that VIP increased [(3)H]thymidine uptake by rat prostatic epithelial cells in culture, conceivably by the activation of the adenylate cyclase.
Patients with a mural pathologic complete response have a low rate of positive lymph nodes. These findings may have implications for the management strategies of these patients, including the use of local resection or a watch-and-wait policy. When the response to chemoradiotherapy is not complete, radical surgery should remain the treatment based on high rates of lymph node involvement.
