African Prostate Tumor Biomarkers Biobank Study

DESCRIPTION

This study aims to establish a biobank of prostate FFPE tissues in diverse African descent populations to evaluate tumor markers related to disease aggressiveness. The study will focus on various markers including TMPRSS2/ERG fusion proteins, infection/inflammation markers, miRNA, telomere dysregulation, and gene expression regulation. Working group leaders are located in Nassau, Bahamas, Philadelphia, USA, and Dakar, Senegal. Study initiated in December 2011.
