Role of TGF-?1 in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma

Evaluation of the prognostic value of CD117 and CK20 biomarkers in urinary bladder carcinoma

Background: Over-expression of CD117 and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) is seen in many malignancies. Given that few studies have been conducted regarding the role of these biomarkers in the etiology of bladder tumours, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CD117 and CK 20 biomarkers in the benign and malignant tumours of urinary bladder carcinoma. Methods: This case-control study was co...

Relationship between grade and MDM2 oncoprotein overexpression in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder

Objective: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder is the second common cancer of the genitourinary tract. Several parameters such as clinical and pathological parameters, molecular factors, and etc play a role in determination of prognosis and type of treatment. In this research study, ...

Role of galectin‐1 in urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma cell invasion through the JNK pathway

Human galectin-1 is a member of the galectin family, proteins with conserved carbohydrate-recognition domains that bind galactoside. Galectin-1 is highly expressed in various tumors and participates in various oncogenic processes. However, detailed descriptions of the function of galectin-1 in urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma have not been reported. Our previous cohort investigation showed ...

Epidermoid Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder

Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder

Aims: To determine costs and factors related to the total costs of cystectomy. To study the results of the radiological examinations performed 7-14 days after a cystectomy. To investigate if a single instillation of epirubicin after transurethral resection (TUR) may influence the time to the first recurrence and its size. To elucidate if a routine with reduced numbers of follow-up cystoscopies ...
