Abstract:

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, the relationship between grade and MDM2 oncoprotein overexpression in TCC of bladder was evaluated. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 75 paraffinembedded tissue blocks (deposited in Pathology Department) from patients with TCC of urinary bladder from 2002 to 2005. In this respect, 3 μm sections were taken from each block. In one of the sections, grade of tumor was determined according to WHO/ISUP criteria using hematoxylin-eosin staining method. In another section, percent of MDM2 positive cells were determined by microscopic observation of 100 cells in each section using immunohistochemical technique and specific antibody. Results: Mean of MDM2 positive cells was %9.08 ± 4.7. In addition, mean of MDM2 positive cells in low malignant potential tissue (grade I), low grade tissue (grade II), and high grade tissue (grade III) was %3.6 ± 2.2, %8.2 ±3.5, and %13.1 ± 3.4 respectively. Meanwhile, a significant relationship was found out between grade and overexpression of MDM2 oncoprotein (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Overexpression of MDM2 oncoprotein exhibits a direct relationship with grade of TCC of the urinary bladder. The obtained results were consistent with the most previous studies. Therefore, through performing studies with a greater follow-up and entailing a larger population of patients, overexpression of MDM2 oncoprotein could be used as a prognostic parameter in TCC of urinary bladder.

opium use in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder

opium use is one of the most common forms of substance abuse in iran and there are some evidence indicating it is a risk factor of transitional cell carcinoma (tcc) of the urinary bladder. the majority of opium users are also cigarette smokers, so consideration of the high prevalence of smoking which is the most important risk factor of tcc of the urinary bladder among opium users is essential ...

Relationship between papillary and nodular transitional cell carcinoma in the human urinary bladder.

A total of 186 cystectomized specimens were examined by step-sectioning to determine the relation between papillary and nodular transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder. Tumors were classified as papillary (PC), nodular (NC), and carcinoma in situ (CIS) according to their gross and microscopic configurations. These cases, grouped as simple combinations of PC, NC, and CIS, namely, PC,...

Lymphoepithelial – Like Carcinoma with Papillary Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder Associated with Carcinoma in situ Changes of the Urothelium; A Case Report and Review of Literature

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...
