Abstract:
Prostate cancer remains a lethal disease for many men. Knowledge of genetic contributions to this condition has increasingly been used in its management. In this narrative review, we summarize various genetic alterations and syndromes associated with prostate cancer, including hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome, and hereditary prostate cancer, among others. Indications for germline testing are reviewed, as well as incorporation of genetic data at different phases of management for prostate cancer, such as screening and monitoring, and treatment of localized and metastatic disease.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
