Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Weischenfeldt and colleagues report on the whole genome sequencing of 11 early-onset prostate cancers. Compared to elderly onset prostate cancer, these tumors demonstrate enrichment for androgen-driven structural rearrangements involving ETS family genes. This study confirms observations that prostate cancer manifests discrete genomic subclasses.
