Abstract
The frequency of prostate cancer has been increasing (1). Afflicting 10% of men older than the age of 65, it repre-sents the most frequently diagnosed cancer in American men, with an even higher incidence in the African-American population. Many investigators have tried to identify prognostic markers that distinguish indolent versus aggressive forms of prostate cancer, and to understand the genetic factors that evoke prostate cancer initiation and progression (2).(omitted)
