The Prostate Cancer Genome Project

The Prostate Cancer Genome Project is a research initiative that examines the genetic makeup of prostate cancer cells. By analyzing the DNA from tumors, scientists identify genetic mutations and variations that drive the development and progression of the disease. This helps in understanding why some cancers behave more aggressively and may respond better to specific treatments. The ultimate goal is to develop personalized therapies and improve diagnosis, prognosis, and management of prostate cancer based on individual genetic profiles.
