Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter region are highly frequent in urothelial cancer (UC), and their detection in urine (cell-free DNA from the urine supernatant or DNA from exfoliated cells in the urine pellet) has demonstrated promising evidence as putative non-invasive biomarkers for UC detection and monitoring. However, detecting these tumour-derived mutations in urine...
