Abstract:
Objective To investigate the predictive value of androge receptors in stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.Methods A total of 196 patients with stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent a transurethral resection of the bladder in Baoji People's Hospital from February 2003 to June 2012 were recruited to carry a retrospective analysis.The mRNA expression of the androge receptors transcript variants 1 (AR1) and 2 (AR2) was measured by quantitative real-time PCR.Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analysis the correlation of androge receptors mRNA level to KRT5 and KRT20 mRNA.Results Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the recurrence-free survival,progression-free survival and cancer specific survival of patients with high AR1 mRNA expression (≥35.47) were significant better than patients with low AR1 mRNA expression (P <0.05).Multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that high AR1 mRNA expression was an independent prognostic marker for recurrence-free survival and cancer specific survival (P < 0.05).Spearman rank correlation revealed a significant positive association between mRNA expression of AR1 and KRT5 (rs =0.3171,P < 0.001) as well as a negative association with multifocal tumors (rs =0.1478,P < 0.05).Conclusion Androge receptors mRNA expression can predict recurrence-free survival and cancer specific survival in patients with stage T1 nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.Further studies on the levels of androge receptors mRNA tend to be particularly important.
