Abstract excerpt
Transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder is believed to arise through a series of genetic changes affecting cell growth and proliferation. Two basic types of such genes have been described: protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. The former have not been studied extensively in bladder cancer...
