Androgen receptor mRNA expression is a predictor for recurrence-free survival in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Abstract Background Non-muscular invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a high risk of recurrence. As androgen receptor (AR) reportedly affects bladder cancer, we assessed the correlation between NMIBC recurrence and tumor AR expression in Japanese patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 53 speci...
