## Abstract BK virus (BKV), a common human polyomavirus infection latent in the kidneys, can reactivate with immunosuppression to cause renal disease. Some have suggested that BKV may contribute to the development of bladder cancer, and BKV sequences have been reported from bladder tumors. To furth

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most common malignancy in dialysis patients of Taiwan. The reason for such a high incidence of TCC is undetermined. The correlation between the underlying renal disease and the development of TCC was investigated. ## METHODS. Th
## Abstract Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), the second member of the ATPβbinding cassette membrane transporter family, has a single nucleotide polymorphism, C421A (resulting in Q141K), that is of functional importance. Our aim was to explore the relationship between this polymorphism of th
## Abstract Epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes by promoter hypermethylation has been shown for a variety of genes in bladder cancer. Various p53 target genes have been investigated, but only few demonstrated promoter hypermethylation when semiquantitative detection methods were applied.
We investigated the possible causative role of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the paraneoplastic inflammatory syndrome and in paraneoplastic cholestasis (Stauffer syndrome) associated with renal-cell carcinoma in a series of 119 patients with metastases. IL-6 levels were found significantly higher in patie
