Androgen receptor variant shows heterogeneous expression in prostate cancer according to differentiation stage

Ada Gjyrezi et al. show that ddPCR can be used to accurately measure androgen receptor variant (AR-V) expression levels in single circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from prostate cancer patients. They show that current methods for isolating CTCs tend to underestimate the prevalence of AR-V and that a sp...
