Chromosomal alterations in exfoliated urothelial cells from bladder cancer cases and healthy men: a prospective screening study

Abstract: BackgroundChromosomal instability in exfoliated urothelial cells has been associated with the development of bladder cancer. Here, we analyzed the accumulation of copy number variations (CNVs) using fluorescence in situ hybridization in cancer cases and explored factors associated with the detection of CNVs in tumor-free men.MethodsThe prospective UroScreen study was designed to investigate the performance of UroVysion™ and other tumor tests for the early detection of bladder cancer in chemical workers from 20… Show more

“…A sensitivity analysis revealed that cancer closer to blood collection had a stronger impact on calretinin concentrations than cancers detected later than 1-year past blood collection (data not shown). This is in agreement with a study on bladder cancer 32 and on ovarian cancer, 33 where cancer-related biomarkers showed more frequently elevated concentrations exceeding cut-offs 1 year prior to diagnosis. Four participants with cancer past blood collection showed increased calretinin concentrations above the cut-off at time of blood collection.…”

“…12 DNA CNVs include gene amplification, gain, loss and deletion. In addition to gene mutation, CNV has a significant role in tumorigenesis in many cancers, such as GC, 13 ovarian cancer, 14 hepatocellular carcinoma, 15 testicular germ cell tumors, 16 colorectal carcinoma, 17 bladder cancer 18 and so on. The accumulation of CNVs during gastric oncogenesis may be a result of preferential selection by which transforming cells gain evolutionary advantage.…”

“…The miRNA-31-5p gene is located on 9p21.3. DNA lost at 9p21 has been frequently observed in bladder and UTUC patients [ 39 , 40 ]. Across differing cancer types, genetic variants of the 9p21 region have been associated with the development of multiple cancers which suggests this region's importance [ 41 ].…”
