<b>Background:</b> Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in tumor progression and drug resistance. We hypothesized that variants in CSC marker genes influence treatment outcomes in prostate cancer. <b>Methods:</b> Ten potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven prostate CSC marker genes, <i>TACSTD2</i>, <i>PROM1</i>, <i>ITGA2</i>, <i>POU5F1</i>, <i>EZH2</i>, <i>PSCA</i>, and <i>CD44</i>, were selected for analysis of their association with disease recurrence by Kaplan- ...[more]
