Figure 1. Immunohistochemical Staining for ERG/SPINK1 and FISH for ERG Rearrangement and PTEN Deletion.
Panel A shows a prostatic adenocarcinoma which demonstrates positive ERG immunostaining and a corresponding ERG rearrangement by FISH. The tumor is negative for SPINK1 overexpression and shows a hemizygous deletion of PTEN.
Panel B shows a prostatic adenocarcinoma which demonstrates negative ERG immunostaining and no ERG rearrangement by FISH. The tumor shows SPINK1 overexpression and no deletion of PTEN by FISH.
