Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gleason scoring and TNM staging are still the gold standards for the estimation of prostate cancer prognosis. In the meantime, molecular methods to predict the prognosis of lung, breast, and other cancers increasingly complement conventional diagnostic tools and are an important guide for therapy decisions and therapeutic target validation. For example, DNA methylation or transcript profiling as well as innovative proteomic analyses might represent instruments for future risk stratification and treatment decisions. This Special Issue of Cancers focuses on new prognostic or predictive markers in prostate cancer that have the potential to improve clinical decision making.
Specifically, we are looking for manuscripts that:
- Describe novel biomarkers in blood serum or liquid biopsies;
- Study novel tissue based biomarkers or biomarker panels;
- Allow for a better treatment stratification in early hormone naïve and late castration-resistant prostate cancer;
- Uncover novel mechanistic insights in prostate cancer initiation, progression, and metastases.
