DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR PREDICTING THE PROGNOSIS OF INVASIVE OR NON-MUSCLE INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER, METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE PROGNOSIS OF BLADDER CANCER, AND BLADDER CANCER MEDICINE SCREENING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a diagnostic kit for predicting the prognosis of invasive or non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, to a method for predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer, and to a bladder cancer medicine screening method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a diagnostic kit for predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer, comprising, as active ingredients, primer pairs, a probe, or an antibody for a gene-classifier which statistically analyzes gene expression among normal tissues and bladder cancer tissues by using a micro-array to predict the reoccurrence or progression of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or for a gene-classifier which may predict the progression of invasive bladder cancer, cancer-specific survival, or total survival. The present invention also relates to a method for predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer using the primer pairs, the probe, or the antibody. The method of the present invention predicts the prognosis of bladder cancer in an inexpensive, convenient, and quick manner, and is useful in screening bladder cancer medicine.
