Oxidative DNA damage may play an important role in the human carcinogenic process. Recently, we reported a case of bladder cancer among 4, 4'-methylenebis (2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA)-exposed workers. By measuring the plasma level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), we investigated the association between
The in vitro micronucleus assay in conjunction with CREST-staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with centromere-specific DNA probes is being increasingly utilized for the detection of clastogenic and aneuploidy-inducing agents. Although potentially powerful techniques, both methods have unique characteristics

Many bladder cancers are indolent, and since there are no biomarkers to predict progression, the prognosis is problematic. Utilizing an in vitro/in vivo human uroepithelial cell (SV-HUC.PC) transformation system, we investigated several molecular events occurring along the continuum of exposure

A 52-year-old male chemical worker was admitted to the hospital with a history of paroxysmal microscopic hematuria for about 2 years and nocturia with gross hematuria about five times per night for 2 months. He was a nonsmoker and denied
