Abstract excerpt
The cause of deeply invasive human bladder carcinoma is unknown. Animal studies suggest that a malignant (invasive) conversion is inducible in low-grade noninvasive tumors by further exposure to a chemical carcinogen. To elucidate what molecular mechanism(s) is involved in the conversion, an in vitro system has been established in which conversion from low- to high-grade carcinoma can be induced. A rat bladder...
