Abstract
Effective biomarkers provide the potential to significantly improve treatment decisions and outcomes in prostate cancer patients. While the literature is inundated with prostate cancer biomarkers in the early phases of testing, very few reach the clinic. Research should be focused on progressing effective biomarkers from discovery to clinical utility and implementation. Presented here is an overview of the biomarker development pathway and a discussion of the current issues impeding our efforts to deliver biomarkers that improve clinical outcomes in men with prostate cancer.
期刊介绍:
The journal is dedicated to extensive reviews, minireviews, and special theme issues on topics of current interest in basic and patient-oriented cancer research. The study of systems biology of cancer with its potential for molecular level diagnostics and treatment implies competence across the sciences and an increasing necessity for cancer researchers to understand both the technology and medicine. The journal allows readers to adapt a better understanding of various fields of molecular oncology. We welcome articles on basic biological mechanisms relevant to cancer such as DNA repair, cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumor immunology, etc.
