Summary: It is now believed that about 50 % of all human cancers contain a mutation in p53, so hopes are high that molecular analysis will provide new insights into treating the disease. Several recent studies using PCR techniques have shown that p53 gene mutations are closely associated with high grade and/or stage urothelial cancers. The existence of p53 protein alterations in urothelial cancer, detected by imunohistochemistry seems to be one of the most promising prognostic markers. We have analysed the p53 tumor suppressor gene in 3 cases with bladder tumors developing after treatment for a renal pelvic or u…
