Our previous studies suggested that EIF5A2 overexpression, as detected by immunohistochemistry, may predict tumor recurrence and progression in patients with pTa/pT1 BCa, and further studies demonstrated that EIF5A2 overexpression is critically correlated with shortened survival of patients with BCa who are treated with radical cystectomy [23, 25]. The gene discussed is EIF5A2; the disease is neoplasm.
