Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of heparanase in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder(TCCB) and its correlation with prognosis in bladder cancer.Methods The expression of heparanase protein and microvessel formation was assessed by immunohistochemical staining in 80 bladder cancer speci- mens resected at various stages of disease and 20 non-tumor bladder tissues (controls).Results The overall positive rate of heparanase in 80 cases of bladder carcinoma was57.5% (n=46),it was significantly higher than in non-tumor bladder tissues (P
