Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the L-myc gene is not a prognostic factor in bladder cancer patients

Abstract

The L-myc restriction fragment length polymorphism has been suggested to be of prognostic significance in some types of primary tumours.

The L-myc genotype did not correlate with any pathologic parameter and does not offer any clinical utility in patients with bladder cancer. © 1999 Cancer Research Campaign
