PROCABIO A European initiative to develop tailored treatment of prostate cancer by biomarkers

Objectives PROCABIO (Tailored treatment of prostate cancer by biomarkers)  Integration biomarkers in updated and improved model for indolent prostate cancer  Integration biomarkers in development of guidelines for efficient strategies for active surveillance  Delivery validated biomarker tools that are easily applicable for high throughput use in clinical and screening settings  Establishment overall acceptance of active surveillance as a treatment modality for indolent prostate cancer For more information, contact
