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.
本期《癌症发现》杂志有一篇文章描述了 TMPRSS2-ERG 融合阴性前列腺癌中存在的独特表观遗传机制。这一发现阐明了这些 TMPRSS2-ERG 融合阴性肿瘤的分子特征,并可能对如何治疗这种前列腺癌亚型产生影响。
