Calcification in human osteoblasts cultured in medium conditioned by the prostatic cancer cell line PC-3 and prostatic acid phosphatase.

abstract：PURPOSE:Detection of DNA hypermethylation is emerging as a novel molecular biomarker for different malignancies. We intend to define whether a hypermethylation profile of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) predicts biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP).
