Deskripsi
To the Editor, Prostate cancer (PCa) is nowadays the second most common malignancy diagnosed among men and is responsible for one of the leading causes of cancer mortality. Clinically localized disease may present with a wide variety of clinical behavior including tumors of low clinical significance as well as highly aggressive ones. Among patients treated with either radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy there is a risk of biochemical failure (BF). As a result, it is of outmost interest to develop new markers predicting the risk of BF development.
