Survival analyses highlighted the significantly higher risk for post-treatment disease relapse in TaT1 patients poorly expressing HSPB2 and HSPB3 genes; this effect tended to be inverted in advanced disease stages (muscle-invasive tumors) indicating the biphasic impact of HSPB2, HSPB3 genes in BlCa progression. Here, HSPB3 is linked to bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
