Novel Combination Markers for Predicting Survival in Patients with Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: USP18 and DGCR2.
In conclusion, decreased expressions of USP18 and DGCR2 were significantly associated with longer cancer-specific survival, and also the combination of two genes was correlated to a longer survival for MIBC patients. Thus, the combination of USP18 and DGCR2 expression was shown to be a reliable prognostic marker for cancer-specific survival in MIBC.
