| Research Abstract |
Although the progression, invasion, metastatic spread, response to therapeutic interventions and prognosis of human cancers are greatly influenced by somatic genetic alterations in the cancer cell itself, it has been suggested that they are also strongly affected by factors predetermined by an individual's genetic background. In this project, we have tried to identify genetic polymorphisms influencing the response to medical treatment for advanced urologic cancers. In advanced metastatic prostate cancer patients, the IGF-1 and CYP19 polymorphisms were significantly associated with prognosis after hormonal therapy. In invasive bladder cancer, our data indicated that polymorphisms of the PIG3 gene (down stream gene of p53) and HIF-1 alpha gene were associated with poor prognosis after radical cystectomy. The whole genome approach as well as the candidate approach will be employed in the search for host genetic factors that influence progression and treatment outcome for human cancers.
