CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17β£, which mediates both 17β£-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
p53 protein expression of 30 hormone-refractory locally recurrent prostate cancers was compared with their matched untreated primary tumour specimens. In addition, androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and p53 protein immunostaining were compared. p53 positivity increased during hormonal therapy
