Bladder Cancer Risk May Be Decreased By Increasing Selenium Intake
A common mineral may provide protection against bladder cancer. According to results of a study published in the September issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, selenium intake is associated with decreased risk of bladder cancer. "The lower the levels of selenium, the higher the risk of developing bladder cancer," said lead researcher Núria Malats, M.D., Ph.D., leader of the Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology Group, Human Cancer Genetics Program, Spanish National Cancer Research Center...

Expression of the transcription factors snail, slug, and twist in human bladder carcinoma
In this study, we aimed to examine the expression of these transcription factors in human bladder carcinoma.
Methods:
We first investigated expression of Slug,Snail,Twist and E-cadherin in five bladder Carcinoma cell lines by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Furthermore,we investigated Slug,Snail,and Twist and E-cadherin expression by immunohistochemistry with bladder carcinoma (tumor, n = 120; background,n =42).
Results:
Expression of Slug mRNA and protein was detected in all cell lines, Twist was clearly expressed in two out of five bladder carcinoma cell lines, Snail was not expressed, and E-cadherin was detected in 3 cell lines. 44.2% (53/120) of human bladder Carcinoma tissues and 38%(16/42) background tissue showed an expression of Twist; 62.5%(75/120......

Clinical Value of Fluorine-18 2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Bladder Cancer [Phase I and Clinical Pharmacology]
Conclusion
FDG-PET/CT has excellent sensitivity and specificity in the detection of metastatic bladder cancer and provides additional diagnostic information that enhances clinical management more than CT/MRI alone. FDG-PET/CT scans may provide better accuracy in clinical information for directing therapy. (Source: Journal of Clinical Oncology)...

Why British urology should support RADICALS despite initial slow recruitment
There is a history of trials being derailed by the emergence of new evidence, EORTC 30944 evaluating adjuvant chemotherapy for bladder cancer is an example. The emergence of a survival benefit for neoadjuvant chemotherapy meant that there were few suitable patients available to be recruited. (Source: British Journal of Medical and Surgical Urology)...

Meta-analysis of epidemiological studies of association of P53 codon 72 polymorphism with bladder cancer.
Authors: Li DB, Wei X, Jiang LH, Wang Y, Xu F
Although there have been many studies investigating a possible association between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of bladder cancer, the results have been inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis of six epidemiological studies, which included 597 bladder cancer cases and 731 controls. Patients with bladder cancer had a significantly lower frequency of Pro/Arg [odds ratio (OR) = 0.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.64-0.99], when compared to controls. Stratifying for race, we found that among Caucasians, patients with bladder cancer had a significantly higher frequency of Arg/Arg (OR = 1.64, 95%CI = 1.18-2.28) and a lower frequency of Pro/Arg (OR = 0.62, 95%CI = 0.44-0.86), compared to controls. Stratifying various studies by the sta......
