This invention relates to the chemoprevention of prostate cancer and, more particularly, provides the use of a chemopreventive agent, e.g. toremifene and analogs or metabolites thereof, in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical preparation to prevent recurrence of, suppress or inhibit prostate carcinogenesis. The present invention provides a safe and effective method for suppressing or inhibiting latent prostate cancer and is particularly useful for treating subjects having an elevated risk of developing prostate cancer, for example, those having benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), or an abnormally high level of circulating prostate specific antibody (PSA), or who have a family history of prostate cancer.
本发明涉及前列腺癌的化学预防,更具体地说,提供了一种化学预防剂,如托瑞米芬及其类似物或代谢物在制造药物制剂中的用途,以防止前列腺癌复发、抑制或抑制前列腺癌的发生。本发明提供了一种安全有效的抑制或抑制潜伏前列腺癌的方法,特别适用于治疗前列腺癌发病风险升高的受试者,例如,良性前列腺增生、前列腺上皮内瘤变(PIN)或循环前列腺特异性抗体(PSA)水平异常高的受试者,或有前列腺癌家族史的受试者。
