Comparative transcriptomic analyses of 100,691 primary tumors from East Asian (EA) and North American (NA) men with prostate cancer (PCa) (ESMO 2022)
Funding National Medical Research Council Singapore Clinician Scientist Award (NMRC/CSA-INV/0027/2018, CSAINV20nov-0021), National Research Foundation Proton Competitive Research Program (NRF-CRP17-2017-05), Ministry of Education Tier 3 Academic Research Fund (MOE2016-T3-1-004), the Duke-NUS Oncology Academic Program Goh Foundation Proton Research Programme, NCCS Cancer Fund, and the Kua Hong Pak Head and Neck Cancer Research Programme...Luminal B and PCa with high angiogenesis scores had worse DMFS (HR 2.98 [0.9-10.2]; HR 6.06 [1.3-28.2], respectively) in the EA cohort. Conclusions Herein, we validated the Decipher GC for prognostication, and using a large reference population of NA PCa tumors, identified several demographic-specific transcriptomic features, which may have implications on the efficacy of new therapeutic agents in EA men with PCa.
