Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion was recently reported as the most common gene rearrangement in prostate cancer (PCA). RESULTS: In this cohort 41% of the patients showed positive gene fusion status in their PCA. The TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion status was homogenous within the same cancer focus and 82% of fusion positive PCA were present in GS 6 or 7 vs. 14% in GS 8 (p = 0.004).
