Molecular markers help further distinguish cancers aggressive behavior. We tested whether loss of the PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) tumor suppressor in biopsies is associated adverse pathology at prostatectomy.Materials Methods: queried needle from 2000 to 2014 a maximum followed by prostatectomy. A total 260 cases had status evaluable clinical grade immunohistochemistry. Biopsy was correlated preoperative postoperative clinicopathological parameters.Results: detected 27% biopsies. Loss common tumors African American compared European (9% vs 31%, p 0.0...
