Telomere Shortening and Chromosomal Abnormalities in Intestinal Metaplasia of the Urinary Bladder

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Although intestinal metaplasia is often found in association with adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, it is unclear whether intestinal metaplasia of the bladder is a premalignant lesion. Telomere shortening has recently been implicated in epithelial carcinogenesis. We used quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to measure telomere length and UroVysion FISH to detect cytogenetic...
