Urinary Biomarkers Objectively Measure Minimal Residual Disease in Non–Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

We found ~20% eradication of cCIS from TURBT alone. cCIS was a poor metric of MRD, performing worse than abnormal pretreatment urinary cytology and utDNA. These urine biomarkers are more objective MRD measures than cCIS for NMIBC risk stratification and treatment assessment.

Abstract

We found ~20% eradication of cCIS from TURBT alone. cCIS was a poor metric of MRD, performing worse than abnormal pretreatment urinary cytology and utDNA. These urine biomarkers are more objective MRD measures than cCIS for NMIBC risk stratification and treatment assessment.
