Possible event cascade for prostate cancer: inflammation as early event, proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and prostate cancer. Role of oxidants, nitric oxide, and cyclooxygenase-2 activities in the transition from inflammation and PIA. Role of glutathione-S-transferase–P1 methylation and inactivation in the transition from PIA to high-grade PIN and therefore to prostate cancer.
