Groundbreaking work on prostate cancer genetics

These findings identified seven drivers of of prostate cancer, which may play an important role in clinical prognosis and management. This is of particular importance now, when over 80% of new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed at a localized stage. Thus, the central challenge in patient care is to distinguish lethal cancer from slow-growing, indolent disease, which is not likely to cause symptoms in a man’s lifetime.
