Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fatty-acid synthase (FASN), selectively overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cells, has been described as linked to the aggressiveness of PCa. Constitutional genetic variation of the FASN gene and the expression levels of FASN protein in cancer cells could thus be expected to predict outcome after radical prostatectomy (RP). This study evaluates the associations of malignant tissue status,...
