Methylation Markers in Prostate Biopsies Are Prognosticators for Late Biochemical Recurrence and Therapy after Surgery in Prostate Cancer Patients
The Journal of molecular diagnostics : JMD
After diagnosis of prostate cancer is confirmed by a positive biopsy, the tumor may be surgically removed via radical prostatectomy (RP). However, many prostate cancer patients experience biochemical recurrence after surgery and/or undergo salvage radiotherapy or hormone therapy. Timely treatment is required to prevent the spread of disease in these cases, and biopsy tissue may hold potential for disease prognostication before surgery is ever performed. We previously developed a prognostic...
