Abstract
Prostate cancer represents the second leading cause of male cancer-related deaths worldwide. Better indicators of the presence of prostate cancer are needed to avoid unnecessary treatment, predict disease course and develop more effective therapy. Many molecular biomarkers have been described in human serum, urine, seminal fluid and histological specimens that exhibit varying capacities to detect prostate cancer and predict disease course.Entities:
