5 Blood Biomarkers for Late-Stage Prostate Cancer

An aggressive form of prostate cancer is especially prevalent among African-American men, lending additional urgency to the search for biomarkers that allow earlier diagnosis and guide treatment. Current research is finding that, as with many other tumors, prostate cancer is characterized by heterogeneity among patients. Researchers are seeking reliable blood biomarkers to assess prognosis and tre

Review Description

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related death of men globally. Since its introduction, there has been intense debate as to the effectiveness of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test as a screening tool for PCa. It is now evident that the PSA test produces unacceptably high rates of false positive results and is not prognostic. Here we review the current status of molecular biomarkers that promise to be prognostic and that might inform individual patient management. It highlights current efforts to identify biomarkers obtained by minimally invasive methods and discusses current knowledge with regard to gene fusions, mRNA and microRNAs, immunology, and cancer-associated microparticles. © 2013 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
