摘要

The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing prostate cancer, predicting disease progression of prostate cancer, prognosing the stage and state of prostate cancer, and identifying appropriate treatment indication for prostate cancer patients. Methods encompass determining the levels of HER-2/neu in fluid biological samples (e.g., blood and serum) from patients.
