Coming soonPTEN-deficient metastatic prostate cancer is an advanced, aggressive malignancy of the male reproductive tract in which neoplastic cells originating in the prostate gland have disseminated to distant sites, such as the regional lymph nodes, skeletal system, or visceral organs.
The defining pathophysiologic hallmark is the genomic deletion, mutational inactivation, or loss of protein expression of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) tumor suppressor gene.
Functionally, the absence of active PTEN lipid phosphatase leads to unrestrained hyperactivation of the intracellular PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling cascade, driving sustained cellular proliferation, survival, and metabolic reprogramming.
Clinically, this biomarker-defined disease subset is characterized by accelerated progression, enhanced resistance to standard androgen-receptor-directed therapies, and poorer overall survival compared to PTEN-intact malignancies.
