Prognostic value of isolated tumor cells and micrometastasis of lymph nodes in invasive urinary bladder cancer
IHC frequently identified nodal micrometastasis and ITC in originally node-negative UBC patients on routine pathological examination. Nodal micrometastasis and ITC were independently associated with cancer-related mortality in UBC. IHC might be selectively used to detect micrometastasis and ITC in UBC having specific pathological features.
