Abstract excerpt
Common and clinically important features of urothelial carcinomas are multifocality and a high rate of recurrence. Molecular studies demonstrated that multifocal tumors are frequently composed of one tumor clone spreading throughout the urothelial tract. A combination of histologic and genetic mapping of cystectomy specimens from bladder cancer patients is a valuable tool to study bladder carcinogenesis and tumor...
