Abstract

The difference in DFS between CTC - and CTC patients was statistically significant (/2: 28.098; INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The prognosis of T1G3bladder cancer is highly variable and not predictable basing uponclinical and pathological prognostic factors. There is need for improvementin risk stratification in this population; the favourable group at 24 mo wasdefined as that without any clinical evidence of disease (NED); theunfavourable group was that with evidence of recurrent disease (RD) orprogressive disease (PD). Tumoral Survivin expression and presenceof CTC were correlated to DFS. Multivariate nalysis was used toinvestigate whether CTC presence was independent indicator of DFS.RESULTS: Survivin was found in about 50% of tumors.
