Experimental models for therapeutic studies of transitional cell carcinoma.

چکیده
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the second most common malignancy of the genito-urinary tract. To date, the therapy options available seem unable to prevent TCC recurrence and its progression, even though therapy studies are constantly investigating new treatment options. A great variety of TCC models have been described. For each study, the model has to be modified according to the specific investigative aim. The establishment of reproducible models is a continuing challenge. Currently, there is a strong tendency towards 3-dimensional models for in vitro studies. The aim of this article was to review current ex vivo and in vivo models used in studies of TCC therapy. We describe 2- and 3-dimensional cell and tissue cultures, as well as the set-up, investigative options and detection methods used in rodent heterotopic and orthotopic models.

Lymphoepithelial - like carcinoma, is rarely recognized in the urinary bladder and less commonly occurs with papillary transitional cell carcinoma i.e. mixed pattern. Also, less uncommon is the occurrence of carcinoma in situ changes in the adjacent urothelium of these tumors. Here, a case of lymphoepithelial – like carcinoma and papillary transitional cell carcinoma associated with carci...

Background and Aims: Immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. By the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. On the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...
