ERG and SPINK1 expression may not have significant influence on the metastatic behavior of PCa. SPINK1 expression was significantly associated with a shorter time to CRPC in metastatic PCa. The expression profile of ERG and SPINK1 may be a useful predictor for effect of androgen deprivation therapy in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive PCa.
