An Integrative Methylation-Metabolism Gene Signature Defines Prognosis and Immunosuppression in Prostate Cancer

A genetic signature identifies prostate cancers resistant to immune therapy, guiding which patients might benefit from immunotherapy.

This study develops and validates a prostate cancer gene signature integrating DNA methylation and metabolic reprogramming markers, demonstrating superior prognostic stratification and immune evasion phenotype identification. The signature could guide immunotherapy patient selection and define actionable targets in the immunosuppressive prostate cancer microenvironment.
