Primary Outcome

Sections of paraffin-embedded prostate biopsy tissue were stained for fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression. The FAS Summary Score was calculated as the product of percent stained (1=0-25%, 2=25-50%, 3=51-75%, 4=76-100%) and stain intensity (0-3) by immunohistochemistry. The range of the product is 0-300.
