Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer shows frequent nonrandom allelic deletion at various chromosomal regions. Genotypic detection methods could potentially identify patients at risk for recurrent progressive disease. In this study, we examined allelic deletion at specific chromosomal loci in tumor tissue and urine cell sediment samples using a microsatellite-based protocol. Although both allelic deletion and...
