A retrospective analysis of 74 cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter treated at this institution over the past 30 years is presented. When nephrectomy alone or incomplete nephroureterectomy was performed, subsequent transitional cell carcinoma developed in 30% of the ur

This is a comparative study to evaluate response rate to mitoguazone (MGBG) and vinblastine (VLB) in 52 evaluable patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. Of 38 patients with measurable disease, two of 18 (11%) on MGBG had partial remission (95% confidence interval: 0
Twenty patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell cancer of the urinary tract were treated with cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2, Adriamycin (doxorubicin) 40 mg/m2 and cis-platinum (CDDP) 40 mg/m2 given every three weeks for 2 cycles, alternating with methotrexate 40 mg/m2 weekly f
To determine whether microsatellite instability is involved in the development of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary tract, a microsatellite instability assay was carried out using PCR with 9 microsatellite loci. Thirty-eight TCC samples (30 patients with bladder cancer, 5 with renal p
## Background: Several convincing studies have shown that the hmsh2 gene plays major roles in mismatch repair by recognizing mismatched bases and preventing mutations during dna replication. loss of this function may result in the accumulation of dna replication errors or even the mutator phenotype
