High lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 expression independently predicts high risk for biochemical recurrence in prostate cancers.

TLDR
It is concluded, that LPCAT1 measurement, either alone or in combination, may be utilized for better clinical decision‐making and highlight the potentially important role of lipid metabolism in prostate cancer biology.

Phospholipid Remodeling in Physiology and Disease

TL;DR: Mounting evidence suggests that changes in LPCAT activity may be potentially involved in pathological conditions, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, viral infections, and cancer, and Pharmacological manipulation of L PCAT activity and membrane phospholipid composition may provide new therapeutic options for these conditions.

Higher plasma levels of lysophosphatidylcholine 18:0 are related to a lower risk of common cancers in a prospective metabolomics study.

TL;DR: Changes in blood lipid composition precede the diagnosis of common malignancies by several years and point to a global metabolic shift in phosphatidylcholine metabolism that may drive tumorigenesis.

Cancer statistics, 2013

TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 to 2009 and can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

Recurrent Fusion of TMPRSS2 and ETS Transcription Factor Genes in Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a bioinformatics approach to discover candidate oncogenic chromosomal aberrations on the basis of outlier gene expression and identified recurrent gene fusions of the 5' untranslated region of TMPRSS2 to ERG or ETV1.

The genomic complexity of primary human prostate cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the complete sequence of seven primary human prostate cancers and their paired normal counterparts and revealed previously unknown balanced rearrangements, at which multiple intra-and inter-chromosomal loci exchange their breakpoint arms without any loss of genetic material.
