Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions and methods and for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of prostate cancer. The invention is based upon the identification of a gene expression signature that predicts the likelihood that prostate cancer will metastasize. Provided is a method of determining whether prostate cancer in a subject will metastasize. Also provided are compositions comprising a prostate cancer-associated gene. Also provided are kits comprising a package with a prostate cancer-associated gene.
