Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There are significant differences in reported frequencies, modes of inactivation, and clinical significance of CDKN2A in urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). We aimed to address these issues by investigating all possible modes of inactivation and clinicopathologic variables in a single tumor panel. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Fifty microdissected UCCs were examined. CDKN2A gene dosage (quantitative real-time PCR),...
