Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Non-invasive urine-based diagnostics for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder remain limited by suboptimal sensitivity. We validated a digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) UromonitorⓇ assay in a multicentre setting and compared it with an earlier quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) version and urine cytology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed 239 archived urine samples from a...
