Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma arising from the prostate gland. It is one of the most common malignant tumors afflicting men. The majority of adenocarcinomas arise in the peripheral zone and a minority occurs in the central or the transitional zone of the prostate gland. Grading of prostatic adenocarcinoma predicts disease progression and correlates with survival. Several grading systems have been proposed, of which the Gleason system is the most commonly used. Gleason sums of 2 to 4 represent well-differentiated disease, 5 to 7 moderately differentiated disease and 8 to 10 poorly differentiated disease. Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) serum test is widely used as a screening test for the early detection of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Treatment options include radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, androgen ablation and cryotherapy. Watchful waiting or surveillance alone is an option for older patients with low-grade or low-stage disease. [1]

Prostate adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, TMPRSS2, ERG, PTEN, and AR [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

TMPRSS2-ERG Fusion, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and AR Amplification are the most common alterations in prostate adenocarcinoma [2].
