Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coding mutations in the AR (androgen receptor) gene have been identified in tissue samples from patients with advanced prostate cancer and represent a possible mechanism underlying the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). There is a paucity of tumor-derived tissue available for molecular studies of CRPC patients. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of CRPC patients...
