Abstract: A method for predicting the risk of prostate cancer recurrence in a subject affected with prostate cancer, including: (a) providing a sample from the subject, (b) determining the TMPRSS/ERG fusion status of the sample, (c) if the sample is positive for TMPRSS/ERG fusion (Fus+), determining a molecular signature of the sample by measuring the expression level of at least 6 prostate cancer markers selected from the ANPEP, AZGP1, CHRNA2, COMP, KHDRBS3 and SFRP4, (d) comparing the molecular signature to a reference signature, and (e) assigning the subject to a risk group based on the correlation of the molecular signature with the reference signature, thereby predicting the risk of cancer recurrence in the subject.
