AB  - The prostate requires androgens for development and
glandular maintenance, dying by the process of apoptosis
following their removal. Anti-androgen therapy is targeted
to induce this process but eventually fails with the emergence
of an androgen independent cancer. These cells have
development mechanisms to survive with out androgen
impart due to the expression of anti-apoptotic factors.
