Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the P53 gene in bladder cancer, and investigated the role of the P53 gene on malignant progression of papillary tumors. In addition, the clonality of recurrent bladder cancer was examined. METHODS: LOH of the P53 gene was analyzed in 67 blad...
