PURPOSE: We conducted a prospective study to determine whether expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is associated with recurrence-free-survival (RFS) or development of invasive disease in patients with high risk superficial bladder cancer (SBC) that received adjuvant BCG immunotherapy.
METHODS: Thirty patients with high-grade T1 tumors were evaluated. Pre-BCG TURBT and post-BCG specimens were analyzed for hTERT nucleolar expression by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: Post-BCG hTERT expression was statistically significantly lower than pre-BCG hTERT expression. Pre-BCG hTERT nucleolar staining in more than 75% of cells was associated with worse RFS (9 months vs. not yet reached, P = 0.05), while post-BCG hTERT nucleolar staining in more than 50% of the cells was associated with worse RFS (6 months vs. not yet reached, P = 0.001) and development of invasive disease. In multivariate analysis, post-BCG hTERT expression was independently associated with RFS and development of invasive disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Immunohistochemical evaluation of hTERT may help define a subset of high risk SBC patients that will eventually fail BCG and may therefore benefit from early salvage cystectomy.
