Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cytology and cystoscopy are used to detect urothelial carcinoma (UC), but together they still fail to detect some UC cases and are not suitable for screening asymptomatic individuals. Mutations are present in more than 98% of UC, mutations have therapeutic significance, and they can be detected by next generation sequencing (NGS) in urine samples. We review the role of NGS in UC detection. MATERIALS...
