Intraductal/ductal histology and lymphovascular invasion are associated with germline DNA‐repair gene mutations in prostate cancer

Abstract

Germline mutations in genes mediating DNA repair are common in men with recurrent and advanced prostate cancer, and their presence may alter prognosis and management. We aimed to define pathological and clinical characteristics associated with germline DNA‐repair gene mutations, to facilitate selection of patients for germline testing.
