Abstract: In the present study, we performed a comparative stage-specific pathological and molecular marker evaluation of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion and PTEN loss-driven (TMPRSS2-ERG. Ptenflox/flox ) versus non-fusion-driven prostate tumorigenesis (Hi-Myc) in mice. Anterior, ventral, and dorsolateral prostates… read more here.

Abstract: more frequently in very-low-risk and low-risk prostate cancer tumours than in tumours in higher risk categories. Furthermore, fusions containing interstitial genes are less likely to be associated with biochemical recurrence. Identifying patients with fusion-positive cancer… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction: Oncogenic activation of ERG resulting from TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion is a key molecular genetic alteration in prostate cancer (CaP). The frequency of ERG fusion is variable by race; however, there are limited data available… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/cancers14051118
Abstract: Simple Summary In addition to its role in development and in the vascular and hematopoietic systems, ERG plays a central role in prostate cancer. Approximately 40–50% of prostate cancer cases are characterized by ERG gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.7150/jca.16751
Abstract: Background: Recent discovery of gene rearrangements have brought a new look to the molecular pathogenesis of cancer. Gene fusions occur in nearly 60% of prostate adenocarcinoma, being the TMPRSS2-ERG one of the most common. Evidence… read more here.
