Clinical significance of alterations of chromosome 8 detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis in pathologic organ‐confined prostate cancer
25 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Loss of 8p22 and gain of 8q24 are known to be common chromosomal alterations in prostate cancer. We have previously demonstrated that concurrent 8q24 overrepresentation and 8p22 loss were associated with a poor prognosis in patients with high-grade, locally advanced prostate cancer. We evaluated the alteration of 8p22 and 8q24 in a large cohort of pathologic organ-confined prostate cancer using fluorescence in...
