The relation between androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and other mechanisms behind castration-resistance in prostate cancer, such as increased expression of constitutively active AR variants and steroid-converting enzymes have been poorly examined. Specific aims of this study were to examine AR amplification in treatment-naïve and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) bone metastases and to explore molecular and functional differences. AR gene amplification ...
