TRIM24 as an independent prognostic biomarker for prostate cancer.

Introduction: Simply applicable biomarkers for prostate cancer patients predicting the clinical course are urgently needed. Recently, TRIM24 has been identified to promote androgen receptor signaling and to correlate with an aggressive prostate cancer phenotype. Based on these data, we proofed TRIM24 as a prognostic biomarker for risk stratification.

Prognostic Value of the New Prostate Cancer International Society of Urological Pathology Grade Groups.

Gleason grading is the best independent predictor for prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Recently, a new PCa grading system has been introduced by the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Following studies observed more accurate and simplified grade stratification of the new system.
