Absence of KLK4-KLKP1 Fusion Corroborate with PTEN Loss in Characterizing Men at Higher Risk for Biochemical Recurrence in Middle Eastern Prostate Cancer Cohort
Abstract:Background: KLK4-KLKP1 fusion is a recently described molecular event in prostate cancer (PCa). This new biomarker has not been characterized in the Middle Eastern (ME) population. Objective: We assessed the incidence, characterization, and prognostic value of KLK4-KLKP1 fusion in a ME cohort of men with PCa and assessed the relationship of this marker to commonly known biomarkers (PTEN, ERG, SPINK1). Design, setting and participants: We interrogated a cohort of ME men with localized PCa treated by radical pro… Show more
