Deletion analysis of tumor and urinary DNA to detect bladder cancer: Urine supernatant versus urine sediment
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of genetic alterations plays a role in the evolution of bladder cancer. These changes can be detected in the urine by DNA analysis of the cells exfoliated from the bladder wall enabling us to detect bladder cancer. The urine supernatant, besides the urine sediment, contains DNA, however in a much smaller amount. The origin of DNA in these two fractions is probably different. Our aim was to...
