Amplification of CCND1 or alterations in c-myc/CCND1 early in bladder cancer may have clinical relevance in promoting and predicting progression to detrusor-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma.
To evaluate the expression profile of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), kinase-insert-domain-containing receptor (KDR) and p53 in patients from Northeastern China with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of bladder.
This prompted our investigation to explore the global Alu methylation and the promoter methylation of the novel putative tumor suppressor genes caveolin-1 and hDAB2IP, and of p53 in transitional cell carcinomas (TCC), squamous cell carcinomas and undifferentiated small cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder.
To investigate the prognostic and predictive relevance of p53 protein, Ki-67 antigen, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract.
Despite the observation that the alterations of p53 gene are associated features of aggressive phenotype of transitional cell carcinomas they do not seem to offer additional prognostic information.
We studied whether p53 status has any predictive value on the outcome of intravesical adriamycin (ADR) instillation for superficial transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder.
We investigated uPA and uPAR gene expression in 20 human transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the bladder (n=19) and the renal pelvis (n=1) in comparison with adjacent non-malignant tissues.
To evaluate the expression profile of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), kinase-insert-domain-containing receptor (KDR) and p53 in patients from Northeastern China with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of bladder.
We investigated expression patterns of CD44s and CD44v6 in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder in relation to tumour grade, proliferative activity, and immunoreactivity for p53.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between HER-2/neu oncogene expression and grade of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder.
Identification of patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder overexpressing ErbB2, ErbB3, or specific ErbB4 isoforms: real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis in estimation of ErbB receptor status from cancer patients.
We examined expression of BCL2 and P53 by immunohistochemical analysis using archival tissue samples taken from patients included in the phase I/II trial of synchronous chemoradiotherapy for advanced transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder.
This study used complementary deoxyribonucleic acid micro-array technology to identify additional genes in human transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), whose expression is altered as a consequence of increased urinary levels of TGF-beta1.
