Strong Expression of Cancertestis Antigens CTAG1B and MAGEA3 Is Correlated with Unfavourable Histopathological Features and MAGEA3 Is Associated with Worse Progression-Free Survival in Urothelial Bladder Cancer.

Background: Cancer/testis antigens (CTA) are expressed in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). Their therapeutical and prognostic relevance remains unclear. We studied the correlation of MAGEA3 and CTAG1B with histopathological factors in UBC and their prognostic value.
