Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. In particular, hormone refractory prostate cancer is not curable and targeted therapies are yet not available. Hormone refractory prostate tumor cells likely metastasize to distal sites accounting for poor prognosis and survival of patients. Thus, means for early diagnosis and treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer are desperately needed. A German university now found an aptamer that targets hormone refractory prostate cancer. Aptamers are an emerging class of molecules for developing targeted therapy approaches.
