    • High expression of PDGFR-β in prostate cancer stroma is independently associated with clinical and biochemical prostate cancer recurrence 

      Nordby, Yngve; Richardsen, Elin; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Ness, Nora; Dønnem, Tom; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Busund, Lill-Tove; Bremnes, Roy M.; Andersen, Sigve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-24)
      Due to a lack of sufficient diagnostic tools to predict aggressive disease, there is a significant overtreatment of patients with prostate cancer. Platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) are key regulators of mesenchymal cells in the tumor microenvironment, and has been associated with unfavorable outcome in several other cancers. Herein, we aimed to investigate the ...
