Prostate cancer(PCa)is the second most common cancers among men worldwide,with a rapidly increasing trend in incidence and mortality in recent years.The occurrence and develop-ment of PCa are closely related to autophagy,and autophagic cell death can promote or inhibit the pro-liferation and survival of PCa cells.This article reviewed the molecular pathways and related regulatory mechanisms of autophagic cell death inhibiting PCa progression,aiming to explore new PCa treatment methods.
