Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to introduce this Special Issue of Cancers on the role of genes in prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide, with an estimated 1.4 million cases of prostate cancer diagnosed, and an estimated 375,000 men have died from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a clinical and molecular heterogeneous disease with disparities in incidence and mortality. This Special Issue will highlight new genetic and genomic insights into prostate cancers, which have provided a better comprehensive landscape of the germline variations or somatic molecular profiles involved in prostate cancer carcinogenesis or in the progression to metastatic and lethal disease.

Prof. Dr. Olivier Cussenot
Guest Editor
