Abstract

Nodal staging has been identified as an independent indicator of prognosis. Quantitative RT-PCR data was taken for 70 genes associated with bladder cancer and genetic programming was used to develop classification rules associated with nodal stages of bladder cancer. This study suggests involvement of several key genes for discriminating between samples with and without nodal metastasis.
