SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CAG REPEAT POLYMORPHISM OF THE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR GENE IN PROSTATE CANCER PROGRESSION

Abstract
Conclusions The length of the CAG repeat polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene may be important for prostate cancer recurrence among patients who are otherwise at low risk for recurrence after radical prostatectomy. These findings have potential implications for patient selection for adjuvant treatment, and for the development of novel treatments.
