Urinary markers for bladder cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. However, some markers have undergone clinical trials and are approved for clinical use. In this review, urinary markers and their application for screening and surveillance of bladder cancer are discussed.

Objectives: To review the role of urinary-based markers in the management of bladder cancer. Methods: A literature search was performed to examine the field of urinary-based markers for bladder cancer. The principles for an ideal test to detect bladder cancer using a urinary assay were defined. Reported biomarkers were evaluated for their potential to fulfil these principles. Results: Many of t...

OBJECTIVE To summarize and evaluate various urinary markers for early detection, diagnosis and follow-up of human bladder cancer. METHODS A MEDLINE and PUBMED search of the latest literature on urinary markers for bladder cancer was performed. We reviewed these published reports and made a critical analysis. RESULTS Most urinary markers tend to be less specific than cytology, yielding more ...

Urothelial carcinoma is the 9(th) most common cancer worldwide. Most urothelial tumors are non-muscle invasive on presentation. However, two-thirds of non-invasive bladder cancers will eventually recur with a 25% risk of progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Tumor stage, histological grade and pathological invasion of blood vessels and lymphatic tissue are the main indicators for uroth...
متن کاملIdentification by proteomic analysis of calreticulin as a marker for bladder cancer and evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of its detection in urine.
BACKGROUND New methods for detection of bladder cancer are needed because cystoscopy is both invasive and expensive and urine cytology has low sensitivity. We screened proteins as tumor markers for bladder cancer by proteomic analysis of cancerous and healthy tissues and investigated the diagnostic accuracy of one such marker in urine. METHODS Three specimens of bladder cancer and healthy uro...

Currently, there is no perfect test for the detection of bladder cancer. Even the gold standard cystoscopy is increasingly being demonstrated to miss both Tis and papillary bladder cancer. The oldest urine-based biomarker, cytology, has high specificity but has low sensitivity and significant variability in performance. Stage and grade of transitional cell carcinoma are currently the most usefu...
