Popis: A disturbed cellular DNA content is of potential diagnostic and prognostic relevance in urinary bladder cancer. To evaluate the prognostic significance of individual chromosomal aberrations in superficial bladder cancer, specimens of 105 tumors (67 pTa, 38 pTl) were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH allows quantitation of chromosomes on a cell by cell level. Centromere probes for the chromosomes Y, 1, and 17 were used. There was a strong association between polysomies of the chromosomes 1 (found in 46% of tumors) and 17 (40% of tumors, P P P
