Study provides important new perspective on how we look at bladder cancer biology

Bladder cancer will kill upward of 170,000 people worldwide this year, but bladder cancer isn't fatal in the bladder. Instead, in order to be fatal the disease must metastasize to faraway sites. The question has been this: does localized, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer eventually become the more dangerous, muscle-invasive form of the disease, or are NMI and MI bladder cancers genetically distinct from the start?

Study: Pds5 proteins modulate behavior of cohesins to ensure proper division of cells

Cohesins are protein complexes that join the two copies of each chromosome-called sister chromatids-to ensure that they are shared fairly between the daughter cells during cell division. In this way, each daughter cell receives exactly the same genetic information from the parent cell.

CNIO researchers perform first exome sequencing for non-infiltrating bladder cancer

Bladder cancer represents a serious public health problem in many countries, especially in Spain, where 11,200 new cases are recorded every year, one of the highest rates in the world. The majority of these tumours have a good prognosis -- 70-80% five-year survival after diagnosis -- and they do not infiltrate the bladder muscle at the time of diagnosis -- in around 80% of cases.
