Can p53 nuclear over-expression, Bcl-2 accumulation and PCNA status be of prognostic significance in high-risk superficial and invasive bladder tumours?
p53 and PCNA over-expression may offer valuable additional prognostic information in high-risk subgroups of superficial bladder tumours. From our results, Bcl-2 does not appear to contribute significantly to the prognosis of these patients. None of the studied markers offered prognostic information in muscle-invading disease.
Physician gender is a predictor of whether an outpatient medical visit generates an imaging study. Reasons for this observation are unclear, but may be the result of different practice styles of male and female physicians or unmeasured patient characteristics.
