Immunoexpression of HSPA9 and CUL2 in prostatic tissue and adenocarcinoma.

CUL2 plays a crucial role in proteolysis by preserving the balance between normal growth and uncontrolled proliferation. HSPA9 safeguards the integrity of protein interactions and supports cellular homeostasis. In carcinomas, HSPA9 and CUL2 appear to protect neoplastic cells from internal and external damage.

Prognostic value of FUS immunoexpression for Gleason patterns and prostatic adenocarcinoma progression.

Background: Risk assessment is important when planning treatment for prostatic adenocarcinoma. Gleason score is a strong predictor of disease progression, despite the possibility of mismatches between biopsy and prostatectomy. In order to increase the accuracy of Gleason scores, several markers have been proposed.
