Predicting treatment responses in advanced prostate cancer (PCa) currently centres on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics and on being able to visualize measurable changes in imaging modalities.New molecular markers have emerged as potential diagnostic and prognostic indicators;these were summarized in Part I of this review in the Asian Journal of Andrology.A number of molecular markers are now being used to enhance PCa imaging and staging.However,management options for advanced and hormone-resistant PCa (HRPC) are limited and additional therapeutic options are needed.Molecular markers have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets using gene therapy and immunomodulation.Additionally,markers identified in early PCa and precursor lesions may offer novel targets for chemoprevention and vaccine development.This review summarizes the current advances regarding the roles of these markers in the management of PCa.

We have analysed the reasons for the low reported incidence of prostate cancer in China and argue for early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.According to the 2002 database of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC),the age-standardiz
