Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, dramatic changes in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer have occurred. However, the rise in newly diagnosed cases (especially in younger men) mandates a more accurate pathological diagnosis that will facilitate the distinction of indolent cancers and save patients from unnecessary morbid interventions. Moreover, in the era of precision medicine, molecular pathology techniques and advances allow for more patient-centered and tailored management. However, the clinical and biological heterogeneity of prostate cancer is responsible for ongoing controversies in the pathological evaluation of the disease, ranging from the interpretation of initial biopsies and the reliability of the Gleason scoring system to the controversial utility of emerging biomarkers in the clinical setting.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in the pathological evaluation, interpretation, and reporting of prostate carcinoma. Both original articles and interesting reviews are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue to shed light on the continuously evolving landscape of the pathology of prostate cancer and its importance in precise clinical management.
Prof. Dr. Kostis Gyftopoulos
