Reduced expression of erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte B6 receptor tyrosine kinase in prostate cancer
ABSTRACT Loss of erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte (Eph) B6 gene expression is associated with poor prognosis in neuroblastoma, melanoma and other tumors. The present study evaluated the expression of EphB6 receptor tyrosine kinase in normal and prostate cancer tissue using immunohistochemistry. The association between EphB6 expression, clinicopathological findings, proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA; another prognostic marker) and progression of prostate cancer was analyzed. ...
