%X Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed male cancer and the second leading
cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States, with approximately 220,000
new diagnoses and approximately 27,000 deaths each year. Men with clinical low-risk
disease can receive active surveillance to safely preserve quality of life, provided
that the risk of an undetected aggressive cancer can be managed. Thus, prediction
of a tumor's metastatic potential, ideally using only a biopsy sample, is critical
to choosing appropriate treatment.
