Article Synopsis
  • Innovations in advanced prostate cancer have improved outcomes, but there's still a lack of high-level evidence in clinical management, prompting the 2024 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference to survey experts for insights.
  • A panel of 120 international experts developed and voted on 183 consensus questions through a web-based survey prior to the conference, defining consensus as ≥75% agreement.
  • The voting results highlight areas of agreement and disagreement that can guide clinical decisions and future research, with a focus on individualizing treatment based on patient characteristics and encouraging participation in clinical trials.

Kataegis, the focal hypermutation of single base substitutions (SBS) in tumour genomes, has received little attention with respect to prostate cancer (PCa) associated molecular and clinical features.

Here through comparison between African (n = 109) and non-African (n = 79) whole genome sequenced treatment naïve primary tumours, using a single analytical workflow we assessed for shared and unique features of kataegis.
