Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common noncutaneous cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Of the nearly 75,000 men yearly undergoing a radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized PCa in the United States, nearly one-third of them will experience recurrent disease following surgery. The treatment decisions for PCa are based exclusively on histological architecture, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and local disease state. Despite advances in screening for and early detection of PCa, a large percentage of men continue to be diagnosed with metastatic disease, including about 20% of African American men, resulting in a high mortality rate within that population. Because aggressive metastatic lethal PCa is still largely incurable, there is an urgent need for the discovery and development of agents that are efficacious against this disease, in particular castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
