Abstract
Androgen receptor (AR) alterations portend a poor prognosis in patients with advanced prostate cancer. A recent study identified a stemness signature enriched in cell-free DNA from AR-altered patients, associated with worse outcomes. These findings highlight the potential of epigenomic liquid biopsy tools to discover novel clinically relevant tumor molecular subtypes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Cancer Research is a journal focusing on groundbreaking research in cancer, specifically in the areas where the laboratory and the clinic intersect. Our primary interest lies in clinical trials that investigate novel treatments, accompanied by research on pharmacology, molecular alterations, and biomarkers that can predict response or resistance to these treatments. Furthermore, we prioritize laboratory and animal studies that explore new drugs and targeted agents with the potential to advance to clinical trials. We also encourage research on targetable mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and metastasis.
