Abstract
A biomarker is disclosed that can distinguish aggressive epithelial tumors in a tissue biopsy from, for example, normal, hyperplastic, and benign neoplastic tumors. The biomarker can also identify epithelial tumors that have become resistant to hormone therapy. Therefore, methods are disclosed for providing diagnosis and prognosis of a subject having, or suspected of having, an epithelial tumor, such as a prostate tumor.
