Prognostic indicators in prostate
cancer
This is a copy of my MD thesis covering the use
of p53, bcl-2, CD44 and E cadherin immunohistochemistry and
Her-2/neu in situ hybridisation as predictors of recurrence after
radical prostatectomy. The morphologic subtype of ductal carcinoma
is also reviewed. This thesis is from 2001.
