Description
Renata Dubrovska and co-authors study a growth protein in high-risk prostate cancer in a 2026 paper. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. High-risk cases still lack good markers for who will progress.
The protein, progranulin or GP88, supports cell survival and growth. Past work linked it to outcomes in primary disease. Tissue arrays from high-risk patients were stained for the protein. Expression was then tied to clinical progression over time. The marker held up as an independent factor. Readers learn of a candidate test to sort high-risk patients by likely course.
