Androgen receptor gene mutations in prostate cancer. Implications for disease progression and therapy.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies indicate that androgen receptors are present in all histological types of prostatic tumours, in relapsed prostatic carcinomas and in tumour metastases, even those obtained from patients in whom endocrine therapy was unsuccessful. Several research groups have asked whether structurally altered androgen receptors might be present in human prostatic tumours. The first androgen receptor mutation in...
