Multiplex FISH (UroVysion), Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), and Multitemperature Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (MSSCP) were applied for non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer. The UroVysion test was positive in 80% of patients with pT1 and in 100% of patients with either pT2 or pT3 tumours. Tumours with pT3T4 stages were characterized by high numbers of chromosomal imbalances, detected by CGH. The mutation of the p53 gene was detected in 16% of patients, but only in those with pT2 or pT3 tumours.

Arylamines are known bladder carcinogens deriving from tobacco smoke and environmental pollution. Arylamines are metabolised by NAT1 and NAT2 polymorphic enzymes in reactions of carcinogen activation and detoxification. We analysed genetic polymorphisms in both NAT1 and NAT2 genes in 56 bladder cancer patients and 320 healthy patients. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected from each subject and genotyped for NAT1 (six alleles) and NAT2 (four alleles) by PCR-RFLP. A weak association between NAT1 and NAT2 genotypes and bladder cancer risk was found when the genotypes were estimated separately (odds ratio OR 1.2, 95%CI 0.7-2.0, and OR 1.3, 95%CI 0.7-1.9, respectively). Almost all NAT1 genotypes possessing at least one ?risk? *10 allele were more frequent in the bladder cancer group than in the control group. There was also an increased frequency of ?risk? genotypes along with increased cigarette smoking in bladder cancer patients. The coincidence of NAT1-fast/NAT2-slow appears as a potential risk factor for urinary bladder cancer (OR 1.5, 0.8-3.0), as compared with the other genotype combinations.

The present study aimed at detection of P53 gene mutations in cells of urinary bladder neoplasms, as the mutations may be regarded as an independent prognostic factor for progression and recurrence of tumours. In the study, 82 patients with clinically diagnosed urinary bladder tumour were included. The control was composed of DNA samples from urine and blood of 202 healthy patients. Exons 5?8 of the P53 gene were screened for mutations by using multitemperature single-strand conformational polymorphism (MSSCP) analysis. Samples with abnormal MSSCP patterns were subjected to direct sequencing. The frequency of mutations in exons 5?8 of the P53 gene in patients with bladder cancer was lower (3.3% in grade G1, 24% in G2, and 39% in G3) than the data reported in the literature. We found a higher percentage of polymorphism at codon 213 of the P53 gene in bladder cancer patients (6%), compared with the values in the reference group (2.5%). These results were matched with those of the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. In conclusion, mutations were found mainly in more advanced histopathological and clinical stages of the disease and at the CIS stage (carcinoma in situ). It cannot be excluded that the observed polymorphism at codon 213 may be a predisposing factor for urinary bladder carcinoma development.
