Methods are provided for determining the malignancy of cells in a bladder carcinoma sample. Expression patterns of Na,K-ATPase .alpha. and .beta. subunits are shown to be associated with recurrence risk in these cancers. Detection of Na,K-ATPase .alpha. and .beta. subunits expression in bladder carcinomas provides a useful diagnostic for predicting patient prognosis and probability of drug effectiveness. Na,K-ATPase .alpha. and .beta. subunits provide a target for drug screening.
L'invention concerne des procédés visant à déterminer la malignité de cellules dans un échantillon de carcinome de la vessie. Il a pu être établi que les motifs d'expression des sous-unités .alpha. et .beta. de la Na,K-ATPase sont associés à un risque de récurrence dans ces cancers. La détection des sous-unités .alpha. et .beta. de la Na,K-ATPase dans les carcinomes de la vessie fournit un diagnostic utile pour formuler un pronostic du patient et évaluer la probabilité d'efficacité d'un médicament. Les sous-unités .alpha. et .beta. de la Na,K-ATPase constituent une cible pour le criblage de médicaments.
