Update on Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis and Prediction to Response to Therapy

Research on molecular diagnostics in uro-oncology has progressed along with the development of complex emerging techniques, ranging from the application of next-generation sequencing platforms to archival pathology specimens, cytological samples, liquid biopsies, and to patient-derived tumour models. The identification of effective biomarkers has become a major focus, mainly due to the necessity of selecting potentially responsive patients and to improve their outcomes, as well as to reduce the toxicity and costs related to ineffective treatments. Diagnostic pathologists must integrate the information from pathological evaluation with the data from different sources to achieve a final diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction.
