Prostate cancer is a clinically heterogeneous disease, and accurate risk stratification of patients is becoming a key clinical task. This is the most common malignant neoplasm and the leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide. Genomic markers include tools and technologies that can predict the probability of an initial positive biopsy, reduce the number of unnecessary repeated biopsies, identify tumors with low, medium and high risk, classify the degree of disease, as well as predict and monitor the clinical response to intervention. Variants of the PTEN gene are of great interest as genetic markers of the risk of developing prostate malignancies.
