  • Patent number: 11873532
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems and kits for the diagnosis, prognosis and the determination of progression of cancer in a subject. The invention also provides biomarkers that define subgroups of prostate cancer, clinically useful classifiers for distinguishing prostate cancer subtypes, bioinformatic methods for determining clinically useful classifiers, and methods of use of each of the foregoing. The methods, systems and kits can provide expression-based analysis of biomarkers for purposes of subtyping prostate cancer in a subject. Further disclosed herein, in certain instances, are probe sets for use in subtyping prostate cancer in a subject. Classifiers for subtyping a prostate cancer are provided. Methods of treating cancer based on molecular subtyping are also provided.
