TMPRSS2-ERG Gene Fusion and Clinicopathologic Characteristics of Korean Prostate Cancer Patients

ERG gene aberration did not correlate with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancers in Korean patients. Lower Gleason grade demonstrated higher rates of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion compared with high-grade tumors, including those demonstrating a large cribriform glands pattern. Prostate cancer with large cribriform glands revealed rare TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion.
