To investigate the clinical significance of T-cadherin (T-cad)
tissue expression in patients with bladder transitional cell
carcinoma (TCC). T-cad expression in 113 bladder TCC specimens
and 37 normal controls were examined by immunohistochemical
staining, and the results were correlated with clinicopathologic
parameters. The χ(2) test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, log-
rank test, and Cox proportional hazard model were used for
statistical analysis. T-cad expression in bladder TCC samples
was lower than in the controls. Decreased T-cad expression was
correlated with advanced stage (p = 0.0027), high grade (p =
0.0078), large tumor size (p = 0.0262), and tumor relapse (p =
0.0293), but no association was found among T-cad expression and
age (p = 0.1265), gender (p = 0.4236), tumor number (p = 0.0595)
or tumor shape (p = 0.1779). Moreover, decreased T-cad
expression was significantly
