Metastatic prostate cancer is frequently presented as cancer of unknown origin. To confirm the prostatic origin, prostatespecific antigen (PSA), prostein, HoxB13, and NKX3.1 are frequently used. However, these markers are regulated by androgen receptor (AR) and their expression could be suppressed by hormonal therapy or altered by chemoradiation. Based on data mining of publicly available protein expression database and AR response gene database, we identified a new marker, GRP52, and compared it to the above markers in a series of metastatic prostate cancer. We collected 46 metastatic prostate tumors, including 16 bone metastases (10 treated by hormonal ablation or chemoradiation and 6 untreated) and 30 non-bone metastases (27 treated vs 3 untreated). Immunostains of all the markers we... view moreĀ»
