Mutations in non-tumoral human urothelium: disease prelude or epilogue?

Bladder cancer is characterized by high rates of recurrence and multifocality, features which have commonly been associated with the colonization of widespread areas of non-neoplastic urothelium by mutant cells, a phenomenon known as field change. Whether mutant fields in the bladder arise from tumo...
