Genetic studies may help physicians identify bladder cancer patients who are at increased risk of cancer recurrence, suggests new research. While patients with variants in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene and the vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) gene suffered fast recurrence, the ones with non-invasive tumors and a variant in the DNA repair gene XRCC4 tended to live long.

Genetic Variants Help Predict Bladder Cancer Recurrence
Genetic studies may help physicians identify bladder cancer patients who are at increased risk of cancer recurrence, suggests new research. While patients with variants in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene and the vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) gene suffered fast recurrence, the ones with non-invasive tumors and a variant in the DNA repair gene XRCC4 tended to live long.
