The Discovery of Common Recurrent Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 (TMPRSS2)-Erythroblastosis Virus E26 Transforming Sequence (ETS) Gene Fusions in Prostate Cancer
1 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Recurrent gene fusions and chromosomal rearrangements were previously thought to be the primary oncogenic mechanism of hematological malignancies and sarcomas. The recent discovery of recurrent gene fusions in a majority of prostate cancers represents a paradigm shift in understanding the molecular mechanisms of one of the most prevalent epithelial malignancies, with important clinical and biologic implications....
