With the exception of its effect on cell apoptosis, cav-1 was also reported to be associated with poor prognosis and metastasis in prostate cancer, and a reduction in cav-1 expression can decrease the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of prostate cancer, indicating that cav-1 is a potential target for prostate cancer [33–35]. The gene discussed is CAV1; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
