Abstract:A12
Prostate cancer is a public health problem due to its high incidence and mortality rates. STEAP1 and STEAP2 genes (six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 1 e 2) are mapped at 7q21.13 region, where we have previously described genomic gains by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of primary prostate adenocarcinomas (PCa). The involvement of these genes in PCa development and progression remains to be clarified. They express tumor antigens and are putative molecular markers… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
