This document provides methods and materials related to assessing male mammals (e.g., humans) with prostate cancer. For example, methods and materials for predicting (1) which patients, at the time of PSA reoccurrence, will later develop systemic disease, (2) which patients, at the time of retropubic radial prostatectomy, will later develop systemic disease, and (3) which patients, at the time of systemic disease, will later die from prostate cancer are provided. |

1. A method for predicting whether or not a human, at the time of PSA reoccurrence or retropubic radial prostatectomy, will later develop systemic disease, wherein said method comprises:
(a) determining an expression profile score for cancer tissue from said human, wherein said expression profile score is based on at least the expression levels of RAD21, CDKN3, CCNB1, SEC14L1, BUB1, ALAS1, KIAA0196, TAF2, SFRP4, STIP1, CTHRC1, SLC44A1, IGFBP3, EDG7, FAM49B, C8orf53, and CDK10 nucleic acid, and (b) prognosing said human as later developing systemic disease or as not later developing systemic disease based on at least said expression profile score. |
