Gene study aims to unlock prostate cancer secrets
NCT ID NCT00186368
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at gene activity in prostate tissue from 867 men to learn how genes relate to prostate cancer development and growth. Researchers collected tissue samples from men having prostate biopsies or surgery. The goal was to link genetic patterns with patient outcomes, which could help future research.
