Predictive Value of E-cadherin, β-catenin and SOX4 in Recurrence and/or Progression of Non-muscle Invasive Urinary Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma. A Retrospective Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Bladder cancer is common tumor in which recurrence and/or progression in patients undergoing TUR has been reported to range between 30% and 80% in patients with NMIBC TCC. With evidence of E-cadherin, β-catenin and SOX4 playing a role in the development of tumors, it manifests as invasion and metastasis. In this study, we hope to develop the correlation regarding the alternation in the expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin and Sox4 in determining the recurrence, progression and up staging and their prognostic value in NMIBC.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Who the study is looking for

  • 1\. The patients were treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor finally diagnosed with NMIBC TCC by pathological examination.
  • 2\. The controls were normal bladder tissues. Or patients diagnosed with cystitis or dysplasia on pathological examination
  • \- Exclusion Criteria:
  • Age at the time of cancer diagnosis \> 70 years
  • Patients diagnosed with MIBC
  • Patients with concomitant upper urinary tracts tumors
  • Patients with concomitant prostatic tumors
  • Patients diagnosed with TCC T1 who did not received full induction, or maintenance doses BCG
  • Patients showed BCG toxicity signs
  • Patients diagnosed with TCC T1 who did not underwent 2nd look TURBT
  • Patients with known genetic/congenital disorder that may interfere with/or increase risk of BC;
    • Bladder exstrophy.
    • Rb1: An altered form of Rb1, retinoblastoma gene, is associated with cancer of the eye in infants, and may increase your bladder cancer risks.
    • Cowden disease: This syndrome, linked to an abnormal form of the gene PTEN, may trigger breast cancer and thyroid cancer, and increases the risk of bladder cancer.
    • Lynch syndrome: This genetic condition, also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, is usually tied to colon and endometrial cancer. However, this syndrome may also increase the risk of bladder cancer and cancer of the ureter.
  • Patients with history of chemotherapy or pelvic radiations for other tumor treatment than BC
