The knowledge of cellular mechanisms in malignances of the bladder has grown exponentially. Molecular technologies have led to the discovery of the molecular pathways distinguishing low-and high-grade urothelial neoplasms. This trend portends the future in which the classification and diagnosis of the bladder tumors through morphologic analysis will be supported by molecular information correlating with prognosis and targeted therapy. This article outlines tumor molecular pathology of bladder cancer with an emphasis on several promising candidate biomarkers that may soon make their transition to the realm of clinical management of bladder cancer.
膀胱恶性肿瘤细胞机制的知识呈指数级增长。分子技术已促使人们发现区分低级别和高级别尿路上皮肿瘤的分子途径。这一趋势预示着未来通过形态学分析对膀胱肿瘤进行分类和诊断将得到与预后及靶向治疗相关的分子信息的支持。本文概述了膀胱癌的肿瘤分子病理学,重点介绍了几种有望很快过渡到膀胱癌临床管理领域的候选生物标志物。
