be the balance of costs for sequence analysis, use of 5-ARIs,
and surgical treatments for applying precision medicine to
active surveillance.
The use of genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM)
matching to human PCa to perform co-clinical analysis is a
very novel and intriguing approach. PCa investigations are
limited by the availability of cell lines and patient-derived
xenografts (PDX) for more precise application of drug
therapy to individual patients. This co-clinical analysis lays
a foundation for future innovative research to improve PCa
therapeutics using GEMMs that is comparable to PDX
models.
