Although several molecular markers for bladder cancer have been identified, at present little information on prognostic biomarkers is available in the literature. Prognostication of this tumor is largely based on clinicopathological characteristics. Our aim was to identify nuclear matrix (NM) proteins that might serve to better characterize the phenotype of the invasive bladder cancer and to investigate their diagnostic and prognostic roles.
