Abstract excerpt
Tumor recurrence is a hallmark of superficial bladder cancer. Currently, a molecular marker for bladder cancer recurrence is lacking. E-cadherin plays an important role in epithelial development and in the establishment and maintenance of cell-cell adhesion and tissue architecture. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association of an E-cadherin promoter polymorphism (CDH1c-160a) with the risk of...
