Proteomic characterization of primary and metastatic prostate cancer reveals reduced proteinase activity in aggressive tumors
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogeneous group of tumors with variable clinical courses. In order to improve patient outcomes, it is critical to clinically separate aggressive PCa (AG) from non-aggressive PCa (NAG). Although recent genomic studies have identified a spectrum of molecular abn...
