Abstract

Recent molecular characterization of prostate cancer (PCa) identified novel genetic aberrations and disease subtypes. The frequencies of molecular aberrations show racial disparity. Clinical strategies and targeted therapies embracing these racial differences are required. Here we discuss ethnic differences in genetic alterations and their impact on the susceptibility, progression, and treatment of prostate cancer.
