A significant correlation was detected of the gene expression level of SPARC with histological grade, pathological stage and bladder cancer prognosis. SPARC may have an important role in bladder cancer progression and provide some additional information in patients with bladder cancer.

A unique case of carcinosarcoma of the prostate detected in a 71-year-old man is presented. Pelvic exenteration was performed, and the resected prostatic mass was found to consist of two histologically distinct elements; adenocarcinoma and sarcoma with focal osteosarcomatous element. The patient is still alive with neither metastasis nor recurrence. This is the 42nd case of carcinosarcoma of the prostate to be reported in the literature.
