Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic factors in stage T1 grade 3 bladder cancer survival: the role of G1-S modulators (p53, p21Waf1, p27kip1, Cyclin D1, and Cyclin D3) and proliferation index (ki67-MIB1).
Antonio Lopez-Beltran,Rafael J. Luque,Jose Alvarez-Kindelan,A. Quintero,Felix Merlo,J.C. Carrasco,Maria J. Requena,Rodolfo Montironi +7 more
TL;DR: Down-regulation of p27kip1 and over-expression of cyclin D1 and Cyclin D3 might be relevant predictors of survival in stage T1 grade 3 bladder cancers, thus selecting a group of patients at higher risk of malignant behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the urinary bladder: a clinicopathologic study of 13 cases
Antonio Lopez-Beltran,Rafael J. Luque,Luis Vicioso,Francisco J. Anglada,Maria J. Requena,A. Quintero,Rodolfo Montironi +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that pure and predominant LELCA of the bladder appear to be morphologically and clinically different from other bladder (undifferentiated and poorly differentiated conventional TCC) carcinomas and should be recognized as separate clinicopathological variants of TCC with heavy lymphocytic reaction relevant in patient management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ki-67 MIB1 labelling index and the prognosis of primary TaT1 urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder.
A Quintero,Jose Alvarez-Kindelan,Rafael J. Luque,Ricardo González-Cámpora,Maria J. Requena,Rodolfo Montironi,Antonio Lopez-Beltran +6 more
TL;DR: Tumour proliferation measured by Ki-67 LI is related to tumour recurrence, stage progression, and is an independent predictor of DFS, PFS, and cancer specific OS in TaT1 bladder urothelial cell carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes produced in the urothelium by traditional and newer therapeutic procedures for bladder cancer
Antonio Lopez-Beltran,Rafael J. Luque,Roberta Mazzucchelli,Marina Scarpelli,Rodolfo Montironi +4 more
TL;DR: A handful of traditional and newer therapeutic procedures, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic and laser treatment, and gene therapy, are used to treat epithelial malignancies of bladder origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic factors in survival of patients with stage Ta and T1 bladder urothelial tumors: the role of G1-S modulators (p53, p21Waf1, p27Kip1, cyclin D1, and cyclin D3), proliferation index, and clinicopathologic parameters.
Antonio Lopez-Beltran,Rafael J. Luque,Jose Alvarez-Kindelan,A. Quintero,Felix Merlo,Maria J. Requena,Rodolfo Montironi +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that alterations of the progression from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle are common in papillary urothelial bladder tumors.
