Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in the Western countries. Apoptosis-targeted drug development could represent a specific and effective weapon against the disease (Tang and Porter, 32: 284-293, 1997). We previously demonstrated that the arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase and its metabolic products could function as survival factors for many solid tumors (Tang et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93: 5241-5246, 1996; Tang and Honn, J. Cell. Physiol. 172: 155-170, 1997).
