Prostate cancer is a multifaceted molecular anomaly that is insurmountable to date because of the orchestrated network of negative regulators that drive carcinogenesis. A substantial fraction of information has been added that gives yet an unclear snapshot of therapeutic interventions in prostate cancer. Increasing sophisticated interpretations point towards some important aspects of prostate cancer aggressiveness like microRNAs, prostate cancer stem cells and TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) refractoriness. In this review, we will evaluate the push and pull between oncomirs and tumor suppressors in tipping the scales of cancer. Furthermore, multicomponent rational drug designs with a claim to overcome stumbling blocks will be discussed. Translation of the outcomes achieved in the understanding of carcinogenesis at the patient's bedside is possibly the principal challenge in cancer research.
