10 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) has been suggested to define an aggressive molecular subtype of ERG-fusion negative prostate cancer. It was the aim of this study to further study the clinical relevance of SPINK1 expression and its relationship with other key genomic alterations of prostate cancer. METHODS: A tissue microarray containing more than 10,000 prostate cancers with...
