Blood-Based Biomarkers of Aggressive Prostate Cancer
PURPOSE Prostate cancer is a bimodal disease with aggressive and indolent forms. Current prostate-specific-antigen testing and digital rectal examination screening provide ambiguous results leading to both under-and over-treatment. Accurate, consistent diagnosis is crucial to risk-stratify patients and facilitate clinical decision making as to treatment versus active surveillance. Diagnosis is ...
متن کاملRNA biomarkers to facilitate the identification of aggressive prostate cancer.
A large number of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, but many will not experience morbidity or mortality as a result of their cancers. Therefore, biomarkers for prostate cancer are necessary to carefully select patients for initial diagnostic biopsy or to facilitate care decisions for men who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer. RNA-based approaches to biomarker disc...
متن کامل[Prostate cancer: promising biomarkers related to aggressive disease].
BACKGROUND Although a rapidly growing number of candidate biological markers of prognosis and/or response to specific treatments in prostate cancer, none have to date showed ability to completely prognosticate prostate cancer on evidence based urology. OBJECTIVE To review the pertinent literature on the issue. ACQUISITION OF EVIDENCE A comprehensive review of the current literature was done...
متن کاملColorectal Cancer Blood-Based Biomarkers
Mortality and morbidity associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) are increasing globally, partly due to lack of early detection of the disease. The screening is usually performed with colonoscopy, which is invasive and unpleasant, discouraging participation in the screening. As a source of noninvasive and easily accessible biomarkers, liquid biopsies are emerging. Blood-based biomarkers have the...
متن کاملThe Role of Adhesion Molecules as Biomarkers for the Aggressive Prostate Cancer Phenotype
BACKGROUND Currently available methods for diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer lack the sensitivity to distinguish between patients with indolent prostate cancer and those requiring radical treatment. Alterations in key adherens (AJ) and tight junction (TJ) components have been hailed as potential biomarkers for prostate cancer progression but the majority of research has been carried out ...
