2. Androgen deprivation therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_deprivation_therapy

   Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), also called androgen ablation therapy or androgen suppression therapy, is an antihormone therapy whose main use is in treating prostate cancer. Prostate cancer cells usually require androgen hormones, such as testosterone, to grow. ADT reduces the levels of androgen hormones, with drugs or surgery, to prevent ...

3. Toll-like receptor 9 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-like_receptor_9

   Toll-like receptor 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR9 gene. [5] TLR9 has also been designated as CD289 ( cluster of differentiation 289). It is a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family.

4. Management of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_prostate_cancer

   Radiation therapy is commonly used in prostate cancer treatment. It may be used instead of surgery or after surgery in early-stage prostate cancer (adjuvant radiotherapy). Radiation treatments also can be combined with hormonal therapy for intermediate risk disease, when surgery or radiation therapy alone is less likely to cure the cancer.

5. Toll-like receptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-like_receptor

   The ability of the immune system to recognize molecules that are broadly shared by pathogens is, in part, due to the presence of immune receptors called toll-like receptors (TLRs) that are expressed on the membranes of leukocytes including dendritic cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, cells of the adaptive immunity T cells, and B cells, and non-immune cells (epithelial and endothelial ...

6. Cancer immunotherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_immunotherapy

   Cancer immunotherapy (immuno-oncotherapy) is the stimulation of the immune system to treat cancer, improving the immune system's natural ability to fight the disease. [1] It is an application of the fundamental research of cancer immunology (immuno-oncology) and a growing subspecialty of oncology.

7. Toll-like receptor 4 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-like_receptor_4

   The first function described for TLR4 was the recognition of exogenous molecules from pathogens (PAMPs), in particular LPS molecules from gram-negative bacteria. [13] As pattern recognition receptor, TLR4 plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity which is the first line of defense against invading micro-organisms.
