5003 Background: Docetaxel (Doce) is effective for metastatic (M1) PC but its effect varied. Combining Doce and hormone therapy can improve overall survival (OS) not appropriate all. We previously reported the mRNA Decipher test predicts benefit from Doce. then used transcriptome-wide data to interrogate differential associations with outcome biologically-relevant pathways. Methods: PTEN inactivation using a described signature (Liu et al JCI, 2021; active score <= 0.3, inactive: >...
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) catalyzes the synthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acids and is overexpressed during prostatic tumorigenesis, where it therapeutic target in several ongoing trials. However, mechanism FASN upregulation prostate cancer remains unclear. Here, we examine gene CpG methylation pattern by InfiniumEPIC profiling whole-genome bisulfite sequencing across multiple racially diverse primary metastatic cohorts, comparing with protein expression as measured digitally...
