Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent solid tumor in men and the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in men worldwide. One of the proteins overexpressed in prostate cancer is serine/threonine-protein kinase PIM-1. There is evidence about the potential role of PIM-1 as a target in prostate cancer and the effect in cellular apoptosis that reducing levels of PIM-1 through its inducers JAK2/STAT3 may exert.
