1.	Rueenauver, K., et al. (author) Prognostic significance of YWHAZ expression in localized prostate cancer 2014 In: Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 1365-7852 .- 1476-5608. ; 17:4, s. 310-314 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) patients are often over-treated because of the lack of biomarkers needed to distinguish the lethal from the indolent form of PCa. YWHAZ was recently identified as a potential therapeutic target in castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). Therefore, this study focused on determining the prognostic significance of YWHAZ in localized PCa.METHODS: YWHAZ expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from 213 men who underwent radical prostatectomy. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional-hazards models were, used to assess the prognostic value of YWHAZ intensity.RESULTS: High YWHAZ expression was strongly associated with high Gleason score at the time of diagnosis (P<0.001) and PSA relapse (P=0.001). Importantly, patients with high expression of YWHAZ had a higher risk of CRPC development (P=0.002) and reduced survival time (P=0.002).CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that YWHAZ could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker in localized PCa to predict poor prognosis and to identify a subgroup of tumors, which might benefit from earlier adjuvant or YWHAZ-targeted therapy.
