Genetic instability persists in non-neoplastic urothelial cells from patients with a history of urothelial cell carcinoma.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common genitourinary neoplasms in industrialized countries. Multifocality and high recurrence rates are prominent clinical features of this disease and contribute to its high morbidity. Therefore, more sensitive and less invasive techniques could help identify indiv...
