Comparison of genetic changes in schistosome-related transitional and squamous bladder cancers using comparative genomic hybridization

Abstract excerpt

The development of bladder tumors has been associated with a number of causative agents, including schistosomiasis. Schistosome-related cancers show different clinical and pathological features compared with non-schistosome-related bladder cancers, occurring in younger patients, and being predominantly of squamous cell type. This study addresses the difference between squamous and transitional tumor types in the...
