Abstrakt: Objective: To study the mechanism of development of low-differentiated androgen-resistant prostate cancer Patients and Methods: Fourteen patients with stage 3-4 cancer of the prostate were held under examination. Inspection was carried Out before and 1-month after orchiectomy. Results: One month after orchiectomy all patients showed a significant decrease in levels of testosterone (p <0.005), 5a-dihydrotestosterone, 17β-estradiol (p <0.05) in comparison to initial indicators, while levels of LH and FSH had increased (p <0.001). The reduction of testosterone was accompanied by the increase of prolactin, STH, and estrone (p <0.05). The decrease in the level of testosterone was accompanied by the increase in the levels of insulin, IGF-1 (p <0.05), bFGF (p <0.01), 25-OHVitD3, and Ca++(p <0.05) as well as by a reduction in the levels of βTGF, IL-1β, TNFα (p <0.05), acid phosphatase (p <0.01), alkaline phosphatase (p <0.05) and PSA (p <0.005). Conclusion: After orchiectomy an increase in the level of factors that raised kariomitotic activity was observed, while a decrease in the level of factors regulating the cell cycle and beginning of apoptosis was observed.
