Abstract:Aim: This work intended to improve the knowledge of the rat model of prostate cancer (PCa) by ultrasonographic monitoring. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into control (n=8) and PCa (n=14) groups. PCa development was induced in the PCa group through the sequential administration of the anti-androgenic drug flutamide, testosterone propionate and the carcinogenic N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. The prostate was evaluated by ultrasonography at five timepoints along 49 weeks of the experimental protoc… Show more
