Quantitative Gstp1 Methylation Clearly Distinguishes Benign Prostatic Tissue And Limited Prostate Adenocarcinoma
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hypermethylation of the glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTP1) is the most common (greater than 90%) reported epigenetic alteration in prostate cancer. It occurs early in cancer progression and it is a promising marker for detecting organ confined disease.
