Abstract
The present invention relates to the classification of cancers, in particular prostate cancers, using samples from patients. In particular, the invention provides methods for identifying potentially aggressive prostate cancers to determine which cancers are or will become aggressive (and hence require treatment) and which will remain indolent (and will therefore not require treatment). The present invention is therefore useful to identify patients with a poor prognosis. The specific population of cancer identified by the present invention is referred to herein as DESNT cancer. The invention also provides biomarker panels useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer.
