1. A method for treating prostate cancer in a subject, said method comprising:
(a) processing a sample from the subject to isolate from the sample or to enrich the sample in non-coding RNA (ncRNA)
(b) detecting an increased level of expression of PCAT-14 ncRNA in said sample compared to a pre-established threshold level, wherein the detecting comprises sequencing, nucleic acid hybridization or nucleic acid amplification, and wherein the PCAT-14 ncRNA has the sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3-9;
(c) prognosing the subject as likely having prostate cancer; and
(d) administering an effective amount of an anti-prostate cancer therapeutic, a chemotherapy, a radiation therapy, an immunotherapy/biological therapy, or a photodynamic therapy to the subject prognosed as likely having prostate cancer.
