Androgen receptor expression predicts breast cancer survival: the role of genetic and epigenetic events
2 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer outcome, including response to therapy, risk of metastasis and survival, is difficult to predict using currently available methods, highlighting the urgent need for more informative biomarkers. Androgen receptor (AR) has been implicated in breast carcinogenesis however its potential to be an informative biomarker has yet to be fully explored. In this study, AR protein levels were...
