Details

This study investigated whether gene expression differences could distinguished common clinical and pathological features of prostate cancer. Expression profiles were derived from 52 prostate tumors and from 50 non tumour prostate samples (referred to as normal) using oligonucleotide microarrays containing probes for approximately 12,600 genes and ESTs. After preprocessing remains the expression of 6033 genes.
