Prognostic Factors in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Upper Urinary Tract after Radical Nephroureterectomy
… for survival in patients treated surgically for transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UUT-TCC). Materials and Methods : I retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 87 patients (64 men and 23 women, mean age of 62.2 years) with UUT-TCC who had undergone radical …

Correlation of Cyclooxygenase-2 and Microvessel Density with Prognosis in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Urinary Tract
… role in cancer progression by affecting tumor cell proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion in several types of cancers. However, studies about COX-2 expression in transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract have been limited. In this study, the …

Impact of Caveolin-1 Expression and Microvessel Density on the Prognosis of Upper Urinary Tract Transitional Cell Carcinoma
… in the organization of caveolae of endothelial cells and in regulating endothelial cell differentiation and angiogenesis. Caveolin-1 has been reported to be dysregulated in various human cancers, but the pattern of dysregulation and presumably the role of caveolin-1 appear to vary with tumor …

Prognosis of Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder in Patients 40 Years Old or Less : Comparison with Elderly Patients
PURPOSE: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder in young patients is rare with 0.4-2% of such tumors presenting in the first 4 decades of life. The natural history and prognosis of TCC of the bladder in young patients remain a matter of debate. This study aimed to evaluate whether TCC of …

Detection of Unique Tumor-Associated Proteins in the Urine of Patients with Transitional Cell Carcinoma by High Resolution Two-Dimensional Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis
… proteins in urine of patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder. This technique yielded high resolution of polypeptides in the urine of cancer patients. Urine was chosen as a source of tumor-associated components because the location of the tum or should …

Vasculogenic mimicry in bladder cancer and its association with cancer stem cells and human chorionic gonadotropin-beta
… mimicry is the process of formation of tumour cell lined channels for nutrient transportation, independent of typical modes of angiogenesis. However, not much research has been done to investigate the occurrence of vascular mimicry (VM) in bladder cancer or to correlate the presence of VM with …

Arsenic in drinking water caused ultra-structural damage in urinary bladder but did not affect expression of DNA damage repair genes or repair of DNA damage in transitional cells
… human carcinogen associated with urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma and other cancers. Arsenic is also a strong comutagen and cocarcinogen. One possible mode of action for arsenic carcinogenesis/cocarcinogenesis is inhibition of DNA damage repair. In laboratory animals, urinary bladder …

Design and Validation of Medical Devices for Photothermally Augmented Treatments
… Carbon Nano-horns and Laser Light to Treat Human Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder in a Rodent Model Using a rodent model we explored a treatment method for Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) in the urinary bladder in which Single Walled Carbon Nanohorn (SWNH) solution and 1064 nm …

Intracellular Transport in Cancer Treatments: Carbon Nanohorns Conjugated to Quantum Dots and Chemotherapeutic Agents
Cancer therapies are often limited by bulk and cellular barriers to transport. Nanoparticle or chemotherapeutic compound intracellular transport has implications in understanding therapeutic effect and toxicity. The scope of this thesis was to study the intracellular transport of carbon nanohorns …

INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis
… lymph node staging and detection and staging of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) involving the prostatic urethra and prostate in males. This thesis is based on investigations of the impact of diagnostic and treatment delay on prognosis in invasive bladder cancer (Papers I and II). …

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as biomarkers of bladder cancer development and progression
… in the enzymatic remodelling of the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 regulates the degradation of extracellular matrix in processes such as angiogenesis, tumour growth, and metastasis. By forming the NGAL/MMP-9 complex, NGAL protects MMP-9 from proteolytic degradation, a fundamental mechanism …
