[Molecular prognostic markers for urogenital cancers].
Analysis of the molecular background underlying the development and progression of human cancer is very important for understanding the disease as well as to obtain new molecular markers indicating the prognosis. Several important genes such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes might be altered in stepwise fashion in human carcinogenesis. Here, molecular changes of these genes found in major urogenital cancers were described from the viewpoint of new molecular prognostic markers.
