Prostate cancer genes associated with TMPRSS2|[ndash]|ERG gene fusion and prognostic of biochemical recurrence in multiple cohorts

摘要

Background:Recent studies have indicated that prostate cancer patients with the TMPRSS2–ERG gene fusion have a higher risk of recurrence. To identify markers associated with TMPRSS2–ERG fusion and prognostic of biochemical recurrence, we analysed a cohort of 139 men with prostate cancer for 502 molecular markers.
