이 교수의 연구실은 비만성 및 전이성 소견암, 특히 상행우두암(UTUC)과 근치적 방광절제술을 시행한 근시성 방광암 환자에서의 예후 인자 규명에 중점을 두고 있습니다. 특히 혈관내 종양 침윤(LVI)과 CD44v9 등 새로운 생물학적 마커가 질병 특이 생존에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 임상적 예후 및 치료 전략 수립에 기여하고 있습니다. 또한, 방광암의 치료 반응 및 전이 가능성과 관련된 분자 기전에 대한 기초 연구도 병행하고 있습니다.

LVI was an independent predictor of clinical outcomes in nonmetastatic patients who underwent RNU for UTUC. Assessment of LVI may help identify patients who could benefit from multimodal therapy after RNU. After confirmation, LVI should be included in staging of UTUC.
TV provides no independent prognostic information when considered in multivariate analysis with Gleason score and pathological stage. Measurement of TV before treatment is less likely to characterize prostate cancer accurately than assessment of tumor grade and extent. There seems to be little reason to measure TV routinely in RP specimens.

In addition to pathological stage and tumor grade, LVI is an independent prognostic factor for disease specific survival in upper tract TCC. Patients in the high and/or intermediate risk groups may benefit from integrated therapies with surgery and postoperative systemic chemotherapy.
The type of urinary diversion does not appear to be associated with a different QOL by general cancer-related assessment. Urinary function and body image are affected and related to the method used to reconstruct the urinary system.
The prognostic role of CD44v9, a variant isoform of CD44 and a new cell surface marker of cancer stem cells, remains unclear in bladder cancer (BC) patients. Furthermore, limited information is available on the functional role of sulfasalazine (SSZ), which could modulate the CD44v9-xCT system in order to enhance cisplatin (CDDP)-induced cytotoxicity and inhibit the metastatic potential of BC. CD44v9 protein expression was examined immunohistochemically in 63 muscle invasive BC (MIBC) patients wh
There have been several studies on the antitumor activities of vitamin E succinate (alpha-TOS) as complementary and alternative medicine. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic effect of alpha-TOS and the enhancement of chemosensitivity to paclitaxel by alpha-TOS in bladder cancer. KU-19-19 and 5637 bladder cancer cell lines were cultured in alpha-TOS and/or paclitaxel in vitro. Cell viability, flow cytometric analysis, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activity were analyzed.
