<i>TMPRSS2–ERG</i> gene fusion prevalence and class are significantly different in prostate cancer of caucasian, african‐american and japanese patients

Abstract

The prevalence and class of TMPRSS2-ERG are significantly different in PCa of Caucasian, African-American, and Japanese patients. Future studies of the molecular pathways implicated in TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion may shed light on the disparity in prevalence and mortality of PCa among different ethnic groups and help design better prevention and treatment strategies.
