Colorectal Cancer and Prostate Cancer Have Different Risk Factors and Molecular Characteristics

Abstract

Lorenzo Livi*

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men, with an estimated 248,530 new cases and 34,130 deaths in 2021 in the United States alone. However, prostate cancer is just one of many types of cancer that can affect both men and women. In recent years, cancer consortia have been established to study multiple cancer sites together, with the aim of improving our understanding of cancer biology, identifying commonalities and differences across cancer types, and developing more effective treatments.
