Numerous biomarkers and risk tables can be used to predict recurrence or progression of patients with primary or recurrent non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) receiving Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). However, few are suitable for BCG-unresponsive disease (i.e., recurrence or progression after BCG treatment). Therefore, identification of a novel marker that allows accurate prediction of prognosis, particularly risk of recurrence, is critically important in clinical practice. In the current study, gene ontology and gene set enrichment analyses of microarray datasets (GSE13507, n = 47) re ...
