Prostate Cancer: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment—3rd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topics "Prostate Cancer: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment" (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/prostate_Cancer; https://www.mdpi.com/topics/prostate_Cancer2). The prostate is the largest accessory gland of the male reproductive tract. Together with seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands, the prostate is responsible for producing an alkaline fluid that forms part of the seminal fluid. The prostates of men over 40 years of age are commonly affected by several pathologies, such as benign prostate hyperplasia and cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among the male population worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, prostate cancer affected approximately 1.41 million men worldwide. Despite significant treatment improvements having been achieved with the advent of targeted and immune-checkpoint-inhibitor-based therapies, cancer remains a primary causes of death worldwide. Therefore, this Topic will consider articles on all types of research on prostate cancer, including in vitro and in vivo approaches. Research on the impacts of the tumor macroenvironment (microbiota, diet, physical exercise) on tumor biology, as well as review studies, is also welcome. We invite scientists to publish their excellent work in one of the following journals: Cancers, Diagnostics or Medicina.
