The Role of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms in Predicting the Response to Therapy for Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Carcinoma

Our findings in this study suggest that various VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with recurrences after bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy. Further functional studies should be performed to elucidate the significance of the VDR gene in the management of bladder cancer and the potential therapy implications.
