Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prostate cancer is generally viewed as a slow-growing unaggressive cancer, yet it is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in men around the world. Over the last few years, the management of advanced prostate cancer has evolved tremendously, leading to new therapeutic options that have helped to improve survival and quality of life. All of this success is due to intensive research that has gone from preclinical models and through the phases of clinical research to eventually lead to what we now have to offer. This Special Edition looks to cover what is presently available and how best to use these therapeutic options in advanced/metastatic castration-sensitive as well as castration-resistant prostate cancer. This issue will address ongoing basic and clinical research that may lead to new therapies but also how to better use the options we have at our disposal, whether it be in terms of timing, combination, and sequencing. This issue will also look to include the exponential growth of molecular imaging and radioligand therapy over the past few years. How this will fit in the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of advanced prostate cancer is becoming a priority. Importantly, work that integrates predictive, prognostic, and genomic biomarkers is becoming critically important if we are to optimally use available therapeutics and also to help to develop new effective options for the future.
