Current state of the art, multimodality research and future visions for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer: consensus results from “Challenges and Chances in Prostate Cancer Research Meeting 2013”

摘要

A brainstorming and consensus meeting organized by the German Cancer Aid focused on modern treatment of prostate cancer and promising innovative techniques and research areas. Besides optimization of screening algorithms, molecular-based stratification and individually tailored treatment regimens will be the future of multimodal prostate cancer management. Effective interdisciplinary structures, including biobanking and data collection mechanisms are the basis for such developments.
