BCa-related genes • survivin & XIAP: inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP) • Ki67: proliferation marker, essential for cell cycle progression • selectivelyover-expressedin most human malignancies incl.BCa • associationbetween over-expression and higherstage & gradeand withunfavorable prognosis • suitablemarkers(tissue and urine specimens ) andtherapeutic targetsfor BCa
Paired tissue samples Median values are presented.
