  • Methods for assessing cancer recurrence
    Patent number: 9977033
    Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to methods of identifying a subject having a higher risk of prostate cancer recurrence. The methods can include the step of measuring levels of one or more of FLIP, transcription factor Sp1, and transcription factor Sp3 in a prostate sample from the subject, wherein elevated levels of FLIP, transcription factor Sp1, and transcription factor Sp3 identify a subject as high risk for prostate cancer recurrence.
