In 2011, Clinical Proteomics converted from a subscription publication to a fully open access journal. The journal's back content can be viewed on SpringerLink.
Featured article: Clinical proteomics for prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Although it is associated with a low mortality rate, uncontrolled or recurrent Prostate Cancer has an average survival rate of just 3 – 5 years. Selecting appropriate treatment options for men with PCa is critical to ensure that those with low risk disease are not over-treated and do not suffer unnecessarily from treatment side-effects, while those at risk for more aggressive disease are treated effectively at an earlier stage. Clinical decision making for PCa is made complicated by the heterogeneous nature of the disease, which renders current biomarkers and clinical methods for patient stratification and personalised treatment insufficient. A greater appreciation of the complex pathology underlying PCa is required to support biomarker research in this area. Concurrently, the application of high throughput proteomic technologies is likely to facilitate the development of biomarker-driven decision tools to meet current clinical needs. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the complexities of PCa pathology and disease management. Current biomarkers for PCa are described, as is the important role of proteomic technologies in advancing continued biomarker research in this area.
