To investigate the relationship of Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1 (SIRT1) immunostaining to urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCB) clinicopathological parameters. ⋯ The results revealed that SIRT1 is an important prognostic factor for UBC patients and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Further immunohistochemical and molecular evaluations are required to explore the mechanism of action of SIRT1 and to investigate molecular downstream of this potential biomarker in UCB.
