Abstract
⺠Choline is an essential nutrient with a potential role in prostate cancer. ⺠Choline uptake and turn over are increased in cancer cells. ⺠Choline is a source of methyl groups that contribute to carcinogenesis. ⺠Several enzymes in choline metabolism are overexpressed in cancer. ⺠Hormones and hypoxia contribute to altered choline metabolism in prostate cancer.
