15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oncogene amplification and chromosomal anomalies are found in many solid tumors and are often associated with aggressiveness of cancer. We evaluated the frequency and the association of c-myc and androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and gain of chromosome 8 or X in prostate cancer in Japanese patients. METHODS: We examined a total of 42 prostate cancer specimens, using fluorescence in situ...
