Abstract

PURPOSE: Apoptosis is mediated by apoptosis-specific genes, certain oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Caspase-3, a group of cysteine proteases, ier in cases with intermediate (Gleason score 5-7) and high-grade (Gleason score 8-10) PCA than cases with BPH and low-grade PCA (Gleason score 2-4).
