Double blind comparison of T-antigen and ABO(H) cell surface antigens in bladder cancer

摘要: Abstract Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is a major cause cancer deaths. Recently, much attention has been focused on ABO(H) antigen deletion in terms prediction prognosis. Furthermore, several studies have shown correlation between T-antigen (a precursor blood MN glycoprotein) expression carcinomas breast, colon, and stomach. We studied 56 specimens from 41 patients with transitional for deletion. Results were analyzed respect to tumor grade, stage, clinical course. The data indicate that was not completely useful prognostieally; it did correlate or found be better predictor behavior than tumorgrade, despite false negative rate 20 30 per cent group O patients. suggest use immunoperoxidase techniques will increase sensitivity patients, thus making predictive parameter aggressiveness. This currently being evaluated our
