Androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification was analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) from 24 paraffin-embedded prostate carcinoma samples recurring locally during hormonal therapy and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) expression from 15/24 of these samples was studied by immunohistochem
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
Androgens and androgen receptors (AR) play critical roles in the development and progression of prostate cancer, the most frequently diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in US males.Β AR is an androgen-dependent DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates the expression of a
