      Integral perspective of prostate cancer: molecular aspects at the service of the clinic. (English)
    • Abstract:
      Prostate cancer is one of the most common male neoplasms worldwide; the diagnosis is based on the use of prostate-specific antigen, digital rectal examination and prostate biopsy. Understanding the molecular characteristics, that is, characterization of the genes that are involved in their appearance, progression and development of resistance will allow physicians to personalize better diagnoses and directed treatments. With this knowledge, in the near future, it will be possible to reach earlier and more accurate diagnosis through blood tests, without the need to perform transrectal biopsies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      El cáncer de próstata es una de las neoplasias masculinas más frecuentes a nivel mundial; para su diagnóstico se utilizan la detección del antígeno prostático específico, el tacto digito rectal y la toma de biopsia prostática. El entendimiento de las características moleculares, es decir, de las características de los genes que están implicados en su aparición, progresión y desarrollo de resistencia, le permitirá a los cuerpos médicos personalizar mejores diagnósticos y tratamientos dirigidos. Con este conocimiento, en un futuro próximo, será posible llegar a un diagnóstico oportuno y preciso mediante análisis sanguíneos, sin la necesidad de realizar biopsias transrectales.
