Purpose : To evaluate the anticancer activity of linalool against human prostate cancer (DU145) cells. Methods : The anticancer activity of linalool against DU145 cancer cells was evaluated by 3-(4, 5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Flow cytometry, using propidium iodide and Annexin V-FITC, was applied to study apoptosis and cell cycle phase distribution. Inverted light microscopy was used to study the effect of linalool on cell morphology and apoptotic body…

Prostate cancer and health‐related quality of life: a review of the literature

The literature on the effects of prostate cancer and its treatment on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) is reviewed and evidence from three sources is outlined: studies that compare men with the disease with an age‐matched sample of men without the disease, and cross‐sectional studies that highlight predictors of HRZoL.
