“…However, it ensured preliminary patient stratifi cation and homogeneous groups for assessment. Additionally, the endoscopic impression is often inaccurate, 31 and erroneous tumour status assessment inevitably leads to opting for treatments with no potential value. As to the broader use of the techniques we propose, a potential weakness is that, despite evidence, urologists might be reluctant to practise additional manoeuvres for mitomycin administration.…”

“…Mutated p53 gene is a common genetic abnormality in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Some studies have depicted that over expression of p53 occurs in higher stages and grades of urothelial carcinoma and over expression of the p53 gene product has been reported as a marker of progression in urothelial carcinoma [6]. p63, a member of the p53 gene family, encodes multiple proteins that may either transactivate p53 responsive genes or act as a dominant-negative factor toward p53.…”

“…Furthermore, histopathological evaluation in the diagnosis of bladder cancer has certain limitations in terms of real-time differentiation of grade and stage of superficial bladder cancer, since relevant early-stage and precancerous lesions are often missed (26)(27)(28). Cystoscopic evaluation is available for papillary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC); however, it is of low diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for differentiating non-papillary TCC, particularly CIS (29)(30)(31). Urine cytology has been proven to have potential advantages for bladder CIS and high-grade neoplasms, but is of quite low sensitivity for low-grade lesions and follow-up investigations of bladder cancer (32).…”
