Is T1G3 bladder cancer having a definite muscle layer in TUR specimens a highly progressive disease?
There is a possibility that the progression rate in patients with T1G3 bladder cancer is not as high as previously reported when only patients whose muscle layer was histologically confirmed were analyzed. An adequate technique for TUR that unmistakably collects the muscle layer may be important to predict the outcome accurately.
By demonstrating the primary cell source of TNF-alpha in FASSc, more accurately targeted, possibly localized, anti-TNF strategies might be employed with success in the future.
