We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine a link between INHα expression and a number of clinicopathological parameters: Gleason score, surgical margin status, extracapsular spread, lymph node status and VEGFR-3 expression, which are well-established prognostic factors of PCa (Wheeler et al, 1998; Cheng et al, 1999, 2001, 2005; Li et al, 2004). The gene discussed is FLT4; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
