Purpose: The individual prognosis in patients with bladder cancer is only partially predicted by tumor stage and grade. Various molecular markers have been shown to correlate with disease progression and prognosis but few add some predictive capacity beyond that offered by standard clinical and pathological parameters.Materials and Methods: A total of 191 urothelial carcinomas from 157 patients were analyzed. Paired normal and tumor cells were microdissected by manual and microbeam-microdissection of membrane mounted native tissue, and analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at a critical region of LOH on chromosome 5p13-12 that is involved in bladder cancer progression. LOH data were correlated with progression-free and tumor specific survival by multivariate analysis.Results: Informativity of the assay was 60.7%. Log rank analysis of 100 evaluable patients showed a progression-free survival benefit without LOH at 5p13-12 of more than 3 years (p
