Urinary markers for bladder cancer
Bladder cancer has the fifth highest incidence of all malignancies in the United States, with a propensity to recur, requiring lifelong surveillance after diagnosis. Urinary markers of disease have been of extreme interest in this field in an effort to simplify surveillance schedules and improve early detection of tumors. Many markers have been described, but most remain investigational. Howeve...

متن کاملCytology and Urinary Markers for the Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer
Primary detection and follow-up of patients with non–muscle-invasive (NMI) bladder cancer (BC) is done by urethro-cystoscopy (UCS) and, in most cases, cytology. Many urine-based tests have been developed, and in general, these tests have a higher sensitivity than cytology but a lower specificity. In this review, we assessed the value of urine tests for screening, primary detection, and surveill...
متن کاملGermline prognostic markers for urinary bladder cancer: obstacles and opportunities.
Urinary bladder cancer is a heterogeneous disease with diverse genetic and environmental risk factors that can influence disease risk or clinical course for recurrence, progression, and survival. Therefore, identification of these factors is paramount for disease prevention and optimal clinical management of bladder cancer patients. Of particular interest is the need to identify molecular bioma...
