Abstract PR09: Prostate cancer prognostication based on an actionable metabolic pathway

Conclusions: SQLE performs well as a single biomarker of prostate cancer lethality after primary therapy, in contrast to other markers of intratumoral cholesterol regulation. Improvements in prognostication are minimal when SQLE is added to a model that contains a centrally re-reviewed Gleason grade. Most importantly, SQLE may be an actionable, predictive biomarker of benefit from statin therapy, which addresses the cholesterol synthesis pathway regulated by SQLE.Citation Format: Konrad H.
