Evaluation of c-Myc mRNA expression level in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic adenocarcinoma tissues and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims: Prostate cancer [PCa] is one of the most common cancers among men in Iran. Since changes in the regulation of proto-oncogenes expression are the main causes of most human cancers, including PCa, evaluating the expression of marker genes can be helpful for early diagnosis of cancer and better understanding of its etiology. The present study compared c-Myc expression level in prostatic adenocarcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]
