mortality/aging
• mutants develop lethal prostate cancer 4 months after tamoxifen induction

neoplasm
• mutants develop lethal prostate cancer 4 months after tamoxifen induction
• tumors are large and highly proliferative and are primarily composed of luminal epithelial cells
• tamoxifen treated mutants do not display significant tumor regression at 2 weeks following castration, indicating that tumors are resistant to castration
• tumors from tamoxifen treated mutants show absence of cellular senescence and are highly proliferative
• treatment of tamoxifen treated mutants with a combination of rapamycin and PD0325901 (a mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor) results in a reduction in tumor weight, growth, and proliferation
• tamoxifen treated mutants develop invasive adenocarcinoma by 2-3 months after tamoxifen induction
• tamoxifen treated mutants display prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) by 2-4 weeks after tamoxifen induction
• metastases to lungs and lymph nodes are seen in tamoxifen treated mutants and disseminated tumor cells are seen in the bone marrow

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mutants develop lethal prostate cancer 4 months after tamoxifen induction
• tumors are large and highly proliferative and are primarily composed of luminal epithelial cells

neoplasm
• castrated male mice show rapid formation of high-grade PIN and carcinoma after androgen-mediated prostate regeneration with evidence of microinvasion
• castrated male mice show rapid formation of high-grade PIN and carcinoma after androgen-mediated prostate regeneration with evidence of microinvasion (J:153425)
• mutants show extensive prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) III and PIN IV 9-12 months after tamoxifen induction, with some areas of squamous papilloma, however mutants rarely develop lethal prostate cancer up to 2 years following tamoxifen induction (J:191327)
