Papillary urothelial hyperplasia is a clonal precursor to papillary transitional cell bladder cancer
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Papilloma and papillary hyperplasia (PH) have been proposed to be the putative precursor lesions of papillary transitional-cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. We examined 15 PH lesions and 4 papillomas for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 17 microsatellite markers on 9 chromosomal arms. Eight of 15 (53%) PHs were clonal, demonstrating LOH of at least 1 microsatellite marker. In contrast, none of the papillomas...
