Development of genetic instability is a hallmark of tumor progression. Type III /3-tubulin (TUBB3) is a component of microtubules involved in chromosome segregation. Its overexpression has been linked to adverse features of urinary bladder cancer. To investigate the role of TUBB3 for development of genetic instability, we compared TUBB3 expression with histopathological features and surrogate markers of genetic instability and tumor aggressiveness; copy number changes of HER2, TOP2A, CCND1, RAF1, and FGFRI; nuclear accumulation of p53, and cell proliferation in a tissue micro array (TMA) with more than 700 bladder cancers. TUBB3 expression was linked to high-grade and advanced -stage cancers (P
