Abstract
This review discusses the molecular mechanism of the regulation of pro state growth, maintenance of the prostate integrity and possible distu rbances in these processes leading to the development of prostatic can cer and benign hyperplasia. The role of hormones, growth factors, onco genes is described in more details. The participation of the angiotens in converting enzyme and renin-angiotensine systems in the regulation of polyamine synthesis in the prostate and the regulation of prostate growth is assumed.
