We assessed the expression levels of survivin mRNA in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) to provide additional information regarding its malignant potential. The real-time PCR method was used to detect the survivin mRNA level for 21 bladder tumor specimens, and for urinary exfoliated cells from 12 newly diagnosed bladder tumor patients. All bladder tumor specimens and 7 of 12 voided urin...

cable for small-scale analysis, inductive screening, and if necessary, for regional population studies. Caution must be exercised to limit false negatives by minimizing the gap between assay primers. Although specific base changes may be associated with melting signatures, confirmation requires sequencing of PCR products. We reduced the likelihood of false positives arising in this manner by ru...
متن کاملIMP3 expression in urothelial carcinomas of the urinary bladder.
OBJECTIVE Superficial tumors including Ta, Tis, and T1 make up 75% of urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. While the behavior of these superficial urothelial cancers is relatively benign, invasive tumors have a significant mortality rate. However, Ta and T1 tumors might display different biological behavior. There is therefore a great need for biomarkers that can accurately distinguish the beh...
