Increased androgen receptor gene copy number is associated with <i>TMPRSS2‐ERG</i> rearrangement in prostatic small cell carcinoma
29 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Small cell carcinoma of the prostate (PSCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy that often develops in patients previously treated with hormonal therapy for metastatic prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma. The TMPRSS2-ERG gene rearrangement is highly specific for prostate cancer and shared by PSCC; however, the role of androgen receptor (AR) gene alterations and interaction with TMPRSS2-ERG rearrangement are...
