Research status and progress of the RNA or protein biomarkers for prostate cancer

: Prostate cancer is a kind of male malignancy. Recently, a large number of studies have reported many potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. In this literature review, we have collected a number of potential biomarkers for prostate cancer reported in the last 5 years. Among them, some are undergoing Phase III clinical trials, and others have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, most are still in the period of basic research. The review will contribute to future research to find the biomarkers to guide clinicians to make personalized treatment decisions for each prostate cancer patient. Men have a unique malignancy, prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be dangerous to men. Doctors and scientists have done a lot of research to detect prostate cancer. In this article, we have summarized the suggestive substances found over the years. Doctors can tell if a patient has prostate cancer by examining these substances. Some of these substances are valuable and some of them are in experiment stages. We put them all together in order to better serve doctors and patients, to enable them to know which substances can help us identify prostate cancer.
