Progression to androgen-independent growth of human prostate cancers may be mediated by alterations in the structure and/or expression of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. To date, mutations in the AR gene have largely been identified in hormone refractory tumors. In this study, single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing of the entire AR gene coding region was performed on 25 primary prostate tumors sampled prior to initiation of hormonal (i.e. , androgen ablation… CONTINUE READING
