Clinical applications of recent molecular advances in urologic malignancies: no longer chasing a "mirage"?

Adv Anat Pathol. 2013 May;20(3):175-203. doi: 10.1097/PAP.0b013e3182863f80.

Abstract

As our understanding of the molecular events leading to the development and progression of genitourologic malignancies, new markers of detection, prognostication, and therapy prediction can be exploited in the management of these prevalent tumors. The current review discusses the recent advances in prostate, bladder, renal, and testicular neoplasms that are pertinent to the anatomic pathologist.
