Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Shortcomings of current methods of prostate cancer detection call for improved biomarkers. The transmembrane protease, serine 2:ets-related gene (TMPRSS2:ERG) gene fusion leads to the overexpression of ERG, an E-twenty six (ETS) family transcription factor, and is the most prevalent genetic lesion in prostate cancer, but its clinical utility remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two radical...
