[Article in Russian]

Abstract

In the article the main mechanisms of molecular pathogenesis of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma are presented. Two different molecular pathways that determine the development of non-invasive and invasive urothelial carcinoma, the immunohistochemical spectrum of stem markers and aspects of the carcinogenesis of multifocal and recurrent tumors are considered.

Keywords: intratumoral heterogeneity; molecular classification; stem cell; urothelial carcinoma.
