Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. Therefore, more specific and non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers as well as novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed. As miRNAs have been proposed as promising elements for the identification of novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools for different pathologies, including cancer, we investigated the miRNA landscape in PCa and explored their putative diagnostic/therapeutic utilit...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer type and the sixth cause of cancer death among men worldwide. Due to the usual slow course of the progression of this disease, there is a growing interest in finding chemopreventive therapeutics with a low risk of side effects. In line with this, recent studies have shown that hydroxytyrosol (HT), one of the main extra virgin olive oil phenolic compounds, exerts a protective role against different cancer types. Moreover...
