Extracellular vesicles as non-invasive biomarkers for the management of prostate cancer
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer detection due to their ability to carry molecular cargo, including DNA, RNA, and proteins, reflecting their cell of origin. This presentation highlights the clinical relevance of tumor-derived EVs in the management of prostate cancer. We will discuss the characteristics of tumor-derived EVs and their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in prostate cancer. Furthermore, we will explore how integrating EV analysis with imaging techniques can enhance prostate cancer diagnosis and risk stratification. Additionally, we will address the technical challenges associated with EV purification and profiling. This discussion aims to underscore the significance of EVs as a non-invasive tool in the comprehensive management of prostate cancer.
Session Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- To describe basic principles of extracellular vesicles as non-invasive biomarkers
- To summarize current state of extracellular vesicle-based liquid biopsies in prostate cancer
- To identify opportunities for integrating liquid biopsy with imaging in oncology
