Improved detection of bladder carcinoma cells in voided urine by standardized microsatellite analysis
20 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Successful treatment of bladder cancer depends largely on early diagnosis of primary and recurrent disease. Sensitive, specific and noninvasive procedures for detection are especially needed for grade 1 and 2 bladder tumors, because of the relatively low sensitivity of cytology. Here we introduce a novel strategy to improve the sensitivity and reliability of microsatellite analyses by employing marker-specific...
