The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies has substantially improved our understanding of prostate cancer genetics; however, this knowledge is currently not fully reflected in the form of targeted treatment strategies. In this Review, the authors summarize our current understanding of the genetic landscape of prostate cancer and the challenges to treatment posed by the presence of considerable intratumour and intertumour heterogeneity.
