Abstract excerpt
The development and progression of human prostate cancer is associated with genetic abnormalities in tumor cells. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes due to allelic loss is thought to be an important mechanism of gene alteration in prostatic neoplasms. In this study we examined allelic loss on chromosome 8p12-21 in microdissected samples of normal prostatic epithelium, high grade prostatic intraepithelial...
