TMPRSS2 and cancer: This is in all probability due to the methodological approach used here, since others using the same methodology as us (RT-qPCR using the same gene expression assay as us; Hs03063375_ft ) to evaluate TMPRSS2-ERG status also did not find differences between cancer and control urines [33] while other authors using Southern blot [9] or transcription-mediated amplification [32] were able to find such differences.
