Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • The inclusion criteria for the subjects in the indolent cohort will be:

  • The inclusion criteria in the early-metastatic aggressive cohort will be:
  • an advanced prostatic neoplasia with Gleason score ≥ 7 (4+3, i.e. less differentiated tissue is found in diagnostic biopsies, worse overall prognosis)
  • multiple synchronous or metachronous metastasis.
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • insufficient material on the tissue biopsy to be left in archives for further evaluations/analyses;
  • insufficient amount of tumor cells at baseline;
