title: [Immunohistochemical studies on bladder tumours. Immunohistochemical evaluation on intravesical therapy for bladder tumours].
abstract: The focus of my study was the immunohistochemical studies of tumour cells induced by ADM intravesical instillation therapy when stained by several antigens, those being; Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Ferritin, Beta 2 Microglobulin (beta 2-MG), Keratin and Glycogen before and after the therapy. Then I discussed as to their value in indicating therapeutic efficacy. There were 18 cases of bladder cancer studied using the Peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique (PAP) of staining. Data indicated a 44.4% response rate following therapy with intravesical ADM. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed improvement as indicated by not staining with CEA. Also observed was no change and slightly diffuse staining with Keratin: and a decrease in all layers of Glycogen expression: However this could not be observed with the Ferritin or beta 2-MG. It is believed this demonstrates that immunohistochemical expressions of staining with CEA, Keratin, and Glycogen may be a sensitive indicator of a therapeutic response to intravesical ADM.
