PURPOSE: Because Gleason grade 4/5 cancer is the primary cause of failure to cure
prostate cancer, we examined the molecular profiles of this high grade cancer in search of
potentially new therapeutic interventions as well as better serum markers than prostate
specific antigen. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared the gene expressions in fresh
frozen tissues from 9 men with Gleason grade 4/5 cancer to 8 men with benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH) treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy. Labeled complementary …
