Telomere Length as a Predictor of Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Abstract
We are evaluating whether men with shorter telomere length in prostate cancer tissue and in normal appearing prostate tissue adjacent to adenocarcinoma have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer than men with longer telomere length. Since the last progress report (Nov 2005) the tissue microarrays were assembled by our Harvard collaborators. At Hopkins, we completed staining of the tissue microarrays for telomere length and are in the processing of imaging the spots and estimating telomere length.
