Abstract
Advances in prostate cancer research and treatment.
Highlights
The advances in the molecular based approaches in radiology are evident in oncological treatments [19]
This is true in the field of radiation and medical oncology as well as in clinical and molecular radiology
With regard to Prostate cancer (Pca), progress in quantification, characterization, and timing of biological processes may be obtained overcoming problems related to the amplification of low level signals of in vivo biological events, the development of integrated imaging platforms with sufficiently high spatial and temporal resolution [18], and the need to reach the target in vivo to achieve satisfactory specificity [16,17,18,19,20]
Summary
The advances in the molecular based approaches in radiology are evident in oncological treatments [19]. The main advantage of combining information derived from different clinical and preclinical fields lies in the possibility of selecting a specific population of subjects who, most likely, will benefit from a particular pharmacological or nonpharmacological treatment in accordance with their “molecular profile” at a given time-point [1, 2].
