In a surprise finding, gene mutation found linked to low-risk bladder cancer

An international research team has discovered a genetic mutation linked to low-risk bladder cancer. The investigators identified STAG2 as one of the most commonly mutated genes in bladder cancer, particularly in tumors that do not spread. The finding suggests that checking the status of the gene may help identify patients who might do unusually well following cancer treatment.
