Why this source matters
Characterizes the prostate cancer metallomic signature—Se/Zn/Mn depletion paired with Cu/Fe elevation—and establishes Cu-Zn competitive antagonism at the metallothionein level as a carcinogenic mechanism. WikiBiome depends on this evidence to recognize the pan-cancer metal pattern (Cu accumulation + Zn loss) as a cross-condition marker and to understand how metal dysregulation enables malignant transformation across tissue types.
