Background: EPCA, a nuclear matrix protein, has been identified as a novel prostate cancer marker through protein profiling analyses comparing prostate cancer and its normal counterpart. A recent study of prostate biopsy specimens revealed that EPCA stained positive in the cancer negative biopsy cores of individuals with cancer at later biopsy. We clarified the relationship between EPCA expression and clinicopathological parameters, including grade and stage. Morphological characteristics of EPCA positive cells in noncancerous tissues were also analyzed.
