Connexin 43 expression predicts poor progression-free survival in patients with non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Oncogenicity of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in premalignant and malignant uterine cervical diseases is mainly induced by E6/E7 open reading frame (ORF). The presence of an oncogenic HPV DNA may be a diagnostic marker for the detection of cytologically negative smears. AIMS:To evaluate an original polymer...
