Study outline. Tissue samples were obtained from a total of 104 progressive and 108 de novo MIBC patients. Samples were split into a discovery (26 samples) and validation phase (186 samples). Genes differently expressed between progressive and de novo MIBC patients were identified in the discovery phase by using gene expression microarray. None of the samples from the discovery phase were employed for the validation process. In this validation phase, the differential expression of 94 genes was evaluated. In survival analysis, RBPMS2 and DSC3 were identified as prognostic biomarkers for tumor progression in progressive and de novo MIBC, respectively; CALD1 and LCOR were identified as prognostic markers for CSS in progressive and de novo MIBC, respectively.
