Résumé

Recently, we described a 3.4-kb mitochondrial genome deletion
having significance for identifying malignant and benign prostate
tissues (p < 0.001). This biomarker was also present in normal
appearing tissue, in close proximity to a tumour indicating a “field
effect.” In the present study, we report 4 cases (3 malignant, 1
benign) which suggest that this field effect may occur before
tumourigenesis; this effect may also identify the presence of a
small tumour focus/foci, which are difficult to detect with single
or multiple biopsy procedures.
