Distinct epigenetic mechanisms distinguishTMPRSS2-ERG fusion-positive and -negative prostate cancers - Abstract

This issue of Cancer Discovery features an article that describes distinct epigenetic mechanisms that operate in TMPRSS2-ERG fusion-negative prostate cancers.

This finding clarifies molecular features of these TMPRSS2-ERG fusion-negative tumors and may have implications for how to treat this prostate cancer subtype.
