Abstract
Prostate cancer progression is often accompanied by alterations of expressi on in one or more growth factor receptors and/or their ligands. This commen tary examines the hypothesis that the disruption of the normal growth facto r network itself is a critical event in prostate cancer progression. If suc h transition points are proven, there are significant ramifications.
